The MOBILE PHOTO WORKSHOPS are back with the popular “STORYTELLING SERIES” of online group workshops!
These workshops are brought to you by well-known mobile photographers Sion Fullana & Anton Kawasaki — who have been capturing daily street life/portraits and documenting the world around them for years. Sion & Anton are often asked about their process, style, and approach to taking photos. They are also asked what apps they use, how they take candid photos of strangers without them noticing, and countless other questions about their craft. The answers to these are often hard to explain in just a quick reply on Instagram or Twitter, and deserve a more in-depth and personal analysis. The STORYTELLING SERIES are three different intensive, 10-Day online group workshops (STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, PORTRAITS and DOCUMENTARY/JOURNALISM) focusing…

New iPhone 5S Rumored To Have 12-Megapixel Sensor And More…
Tinhte.vn a Vietnamese site that has been reliable in the past with Apple iPhone rumors has mentioned that the new iPhone 5S will come with a 12 megapixel sensor, better low light shooting capabilities as well has HDR shooting and ‘other features’. The information coming out right now is still very scant, but I would well imagine that the sensor will be increased and as well as that a lower aperture for improved low light conditions is quite likely too. If you recall, when the iPhone 4S was announced back in October 2011, the rear camera was increased from 5 megapixels to 8, with improved video capture of 1080p, from…

Irish Tinkers has been created by Janine Wiedel, who actually took these photographs over a period of five years in the 1970’s. Janine has created a charming sensitivie timepiece that not only rewards us with stunning portraiture but also great insights into this fiercely independent ‘ethnic group*’. About the Author Janine Wiedel, was born in New York City and has been living and working as a documentary photographer in London since the early 1970s. Her distinguished career has tended to focus…

iPhone 5 Pre-Orders To Start On September 12, 2012
MacRumors are reporting that iMore are correct in their assumptions that preorders in the US for the brand spanking new iPhone 5 will commence on September 12, 2012, the same date that the magical device is also rumored to be announced. The actual release of the new handsets is apparently planned for September 21, 2012 in the US. International orders will apparently begin around October 5, 2012. Obviously none of these dates have been confirmed, Apple has not even confirmed they will be announcing the new iPhone 5 or iPhone as it may be called, yet either. We’re pretty damn sure that it’s happening though and we can’t wait. Watch…
Nikon Coolpix S800 To Have Android Inside
According to Nikonrumors this morning, Nikon will soon announce a new Android based compact camera. The model name will be the Coolpix S800. Nikon is expected to make this announcement at Photokina later on this year. We knew it was only a matter of time until this happened, afterall the compact camera market has suffered hugely with the popularity of the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S II and III to name just a few. It’s interesting, where does this leave us? Our phones have become our cameras and our cameras are becoming our phones. I think the vast majority of digital cameras will have Android inside before long. It’s…
