New Projects – Our New Form of Artistic Installation aka ‘The Quilt’ Is Ready!
We’re delighted to inform our readers that the quilt that so many of you contributed to, has now been completed. For those of you not aware of this project, it involved mobile artists contributing one image and each one was then carefully included within a large quilt to be displayed at the next gallery show or even Mobile Arts Festival. There has been a few obstacles along the way and we have overcome each one. This quilt was sewed together and finalised by none other than mobile artist, Lorenka Campos’ mother in law. We all owe her much gratitude. The quilt is now with Lorenka Campos, so if you would…
Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @armineh29 – Armineh Hovanesian – Day 10 – 14
We peered through Armineh Hovanesian’s looking glass during her takeover of our Instagram account for the past fourteen days.

Hovanesian’s fourteen day vista reveals the human, social and also the hopes and dreams and delicate relationships of life around the world. What a complex, nuanced and vividly rendered takeover! You’ll see days ten to fourteen below, to view the complete set, please go here. Later today, you’ll see our new Takeover artist making her first selection(s), Jenny Pieters, will be here beginning her…
Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom
Today, we are publishing our twenty seventh visual interview, this time with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom. Harkin’s art is an amalgamation of dichotomies: inside/outside, public/private, high/low – all dynamic. Her images speak eloquently to us about our own life experiences at the same depicting her own. One of Harkin’s most admirable qualities as an artist, is her hunger for inspiration and this is reflected in her varied work. When embarking on a new creation, Harkin reaches the summit, she uniquely manages to not only arrive with an aesthetically pleasing visual image but one which ensures all the elements involved are included as intended. I am so excited about…
Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Alon Goldsmith from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty sixth visual interview, this time with Alon Goldsmith from the United States. Goldsmith has created his own trademark style, as a pioneering mobile colour photographer. Goldsmith’s images are representative of european Harry Gruyaert’s (b.1941), when he courted Kodachrome while simultaneously exploding into the art scene which earned him entry into the hallowed Magnum photo agency in 1982. Goldsmith’s approach, much like American photographers William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, who were already taking advantage of colour potential and with which Gruyaert alined himself, have always been full of received wisdom. Each image of Goldsmith’s offers shades of colour, drawing in the viewer, he captures the prosaic moments of…

Mobile Photography & Art – My Top Five Apps by Alon Goldsmith from Los Angeles, California, USA
We are revitalising our Top Five Apps section to our Photo App Lounge column. This a section within TheAppWhisperer where we ask highly accomplished mobile photographers and artists to list their top five apps and to explain why they have selected them. Kicking us off today is highly accomplished mobile photographer, Alon Goldsmith from Los Angeles, California, United States. “If you had asked me what my top five photo apps were a few years ago, I would have had a hard time narrowing it down. These days, I’m driven to create work with a more photorealistic feel, so I’m currently using apps less than in the past. That said, here are…
