Mobile Photography / Art New Year Resolutions 2016 From Around The World
New Year Resolutions have a long history, the Babylonians pledged to return borrowed objects and repay their debts at the start of each year, while the Romans kicked off January by making a vow to the god Janus (from whom the month takes its name). As we have been repeating and updating this featured article now for several years, many artists have looked back and lamented at their broken promises but also as you read, you will see that many rejoice at the acomplishments that they have achieved. In assessing my goals for the New Year, I don’t list tasks, I analyze the optimal approaches in reaching those goals, breaking…

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.…

It was great to see both her authentic Brownie camera and her selfies on the glass and her notes on the photos. She had an extraordinary eye for capturing those details of daily…
