Mobile Art Saturday Poetry – ‘Love in a Time of Covid-19’ by Craig Santos Perez
This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘Love in a Time of Covid-19’ by Craig Santos Perez. He is a native Chamorro from Mongmong, Guam and writes about themes such as Pacific life, immigration, ancestry, colonialism, and diaspora. This poem “is a variant of Pablo Neruda’s famous love sonnet XVII, in which he uses the natural world as a metaphor to describe love. In my poem, this metaphor mutates into things that we would associate with the pandemic, such as medicine, vaccines, and masks, in order to explore how to write about love in a time of Covid-19“, he explained.

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…

iPhone 14 Pro Camera Review: Scotland – via Austin Mann
Many thanks to our friend Austin Mann who has granted permission for us to reproduce this iPhone 14 Pro camera review from Scotland. To go directly to his site, please click here. We’re here on the beautiful Dunton Kilchoan Estate in the Scottish Highlands with the iPhone 14 Pro cameras — we’ve been hiking, biking, and boating all around the area, pushing these new cameras to the limit. The features that really caught my eye during Apple’s keynote were the giant new 48 megapixel sensor, better low-light thanks to quad-pixels, Action mode stabilization for video, and satellite connectivity — and we’ve had a blast putting these new features to the test!…
iPhone 14 Pro Camera Preview: The Hardware Changes via Halide
I was thrilled to review iPhone App developer Sebastiaan de With of Halide App’s camera preview on the brand new Apple iPhone 14 Pro camera. We mentioned Hailide Mark II in our Best Mobile Photography Apps (2026 Edition) “The Wide camera sees the greatest changes“, he reports. “The lens gets a bit wider, a 2mm focal length difference. The aperture is smaller (‘slower’), means the lens collects less light. This was probably necessary to work with a larger sensor. We calculate that the Wide camera is able to collect 20% more light compared to last year’s camera, even with this slightly worse aperture, thanks to its larger size. We’re astonished…
