Mobile Photography & Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 9 October 2022
What stirs you? Nothing comes easily, to create or compose something original with meaning of being alive, fresh and relevant, is difficult. One thing I have become preoccupied with of late, is the orality of imagery. We tend to think of photographs, paintings as visual work but there’s so much more there. More often than not we share photographs with others, at a gallery, within an album, on screen, and thus we oralise them. We express what those images mean to us, to each other, we weave stories together, storytelling is elevated to another level just as this weeks showcase is. Enjoy! Thank you to all the talented artists for…

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 18 September 2022
Why does anything exist at all? I’m an optimistic, don’t worry, but it’s a question which we all spend our lives trying, increasingly strenuously to avoid. Human life, is always held up against the massive fact of nature, impervious and indifferent to man. If we knew our exact end of life date, would we live our lives differently? When humans have brushed up closely to death, they have lived differently. I know that I do. I was lucky to survive at 24 years old with very serious liver tumours and luck really did play the main part in my survival. Consequently, I have felt on borrowed time ever since, I…
