42 Days Left until the World’s Largest Free Literary Festival Opens
I am publishing news of this fascinating event, which is unrelated directly to mobile photography but literature is an integral part of each picture, whether you are fully aware of it or not. Literature has always been as much of a passion of mine as photography and art. So, allow me, please, to tell you a little more about this event… The 9th ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival, the world’s largest free literary festival, demonstrates its global importance hosting the world’s leading writers and thinkers. The festival runs from Thursday 21st – Monday 25th January 2016 in the stunning historic setting of The Diggi Palace Hotel in Jaipur, the capital of…
Apple Quietly Launches New Battery Case for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s
Battery life has always been one of much contention for mobile photographers and artists. It’s always a conversation of much debate, ‘which battery charger do you recommend?’ is a question I am very familiar with. Usually, I recommend ones that I personally use myself, Jackery for example produce some good products, that do not cost too much. Mophie Juice is another uber popular manufacturer, I also recommend Otterbox highly. Interestingly, yesterday Apple quietly launched their own iPhone 6s battery pack, this is the first time Apple have ever encroached on this market and I am sure it’s one that has sent third party battery manufacturers into an array of hysteria.…
Thank You…
Just a little note to thank you for following the Amazon link that I have added to TheAppWhisperer.com website. Each time you click on that and then go on to make a purchase from Amazon, we receive 5% of the value. I feel that it’s a good way for anyone, that wants to to help with the costs of running the site anonymously. Many artists have suggested that I set up a Donate section, that many others are doing, following my Amazon suggestion. However, this is not something I will entertain. I am an artist, as you all are, you are not my customers and I am not your retailer.…

In 2014, we launched Carousel to create a new way to experience and share photos. With both, we aspired to extend the simplicity of Dropbox to other parts of our users’ lives”. The reason for closing these down according to Dropbox is “about tough choices. Over the past few months, we’ve increased our team’s focus on collaboration and simplifying the way people work together. In light of…
