Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 29 April 2018

2018-04-292018-04-29 by Joanne Carter

It has been said (‘Teenagers: A Natural History’: David Bainbridge, 2010) that teenage years are to develop the brain and as such they are the greatest achievement of evolution – the point where all that is special about our species comes into play. For parents of teenagers, it’s our job to look after them while they are incubating their extraordinary craniums. “Adolescence is the reason we live so long, long, long,” says Bainbridge. “Human longevity has evolved because we need to bring up our intensely supported, slowly developing offspring.” And that’s of course intensely important, being a parent at this stage is a constant negotiation between keeping them safe and letting them go. It’s about balance as in life as in art. We all need to trust, It’s fierce trust, it demands you put forth your work, without knowing an outcome because fierce trust knows that the outcome does not matter, it cannot matter. Keep sharing your work, each one of you reading this was born to create. Ask yourself, how fierce is your trust in that love? Keep creating, keep viewing, it’s our labour of love.

Mobile Photography – StreetWise Winter 2017 / 2018 Showcase

2018-03-192018-03-19 by Ilana Buch-Akoundi and Lee Atwell

“I love the people I photograph. I mean, they’re my friends. I’ve never met most of them or I don’t know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.” Bruce Gilden

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for submitting your images to StreetWise Flickr group for our ‘Winter Showcase.’

We were touched by the soulfulness and warmth of your photos – beautiful winter scenes (whether in tropical or snowy settings) of people (and animals) looking out windows, windows as frames, windows reflecting cityscapes, people in public transportation, carrying umbrellas, lone figures in urban landscapes and photos of people connecting hand in hand, or embracing one another. Even in the often darker, bleaker times of the winter months, when taking street photos can present a challenge, so many of your images captured what it means to be human – our fragility and our connection to one another.

We are inspired by this international group and it is our honor for Ilana and I to curate so many wonderful artists from around the world, and to ultimately, share the showcases with you.

Ilana and I find it very difficult to choose such few images for the showcase from all those that were submitted and we want you to know that we appreciate each and every post!

As a reminder, we choose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group’s intention and guidelines focusing on key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying on too much aping or images that are more art oriented or painterly.

If you are a street photographer, please consider joining our growing community. To those new to our community, welcome – it’s great to have you join us!

Please continue to post your images to StreetWise Flickr group for showcase submissions:

Please note that StreetWise Facebook page is NOT for posting photographs but for sharing information/discussions, thank you!

A special thank you to Joanne.

We hope you feel inspired by this showcase and our wonderful group. Until next time, happy shooting everyone!

Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured in our showcase including:

Basak Aytek, Daniel Vondav, Donna Donato, Dina Alfasi, Paula Betlem, Carlein, Kathy Clay, Vanessa Vox, Mark Fearnley, Allyson, Susan Rennie, Armineh Hovanesian, Julia Nathanson, Isabelle Wolter, Marc Zetterblom, Ger van den Elzen, Michel Dev1, Karen Axelrad, Michael Beresin, Laurence Bouchard, Paul Yan, Ocean Morisset, Christine Mignon, Myrna, Giulia Baita, Nick Kenrick, Luison, JH McB, Dixon Hamby, Valeria Cammareri, and Rene Valencia

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 3 December 2017

2017-12-042017-12-03 by Joanne Carter

In the UK we have a literary award of which, it is of no honour to win. It is the Bad Sex Award and each year since 1993 an author is honoured who has, in the opinion of the judges, produced an outstandingly bad scene of sexual description, in an otherwise good novel. The results of which, I always find interesting to read, notwithstanding the reviews too. Is it wrong to find it laudable? This year one author and writer for The Guardian, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett claims the thought of being awarded the bad sex award has inspired her to work harder, she writes, “Many women are acutely aware of what bad sex feels like because, I’m depressed to say, lots of us have experienced it first hand, and reading scenes where a female character is in raptures the minute the tip of a penis makes contact will always lead to raised eyebrows.”. The irony of this award is that it is actually getting harder to award it, many have said that the awards handed over this year for bad sex are actually not ‘too bad’. The best thing about this is that it is actually possible that male authors are paying more attention to the female experience and what a great thing that is, for all of us. This week Mobile Photography and Art Flickr Group showcase is the opposite of a Bad Sex Award, there’s no self-doubt evident here, the result of this multimedia display is a groundbreaking thrust in the face of engaging the real world in new and surprising ways. Enjoy!

Thank you to all artists for submitting your works. If you would like your work to be considered for entry into our weekly Mobile Photography and Art Flickr Group, please submit it to our dedicated group, here.

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 26 November 2017

2017-11-262017-11-26 by Joanne Carter

The transformative power of art mingled with love heighten the potential of our quotidian lives, when we consider Mobile Photography and Art, our untapped potential is as defiant as it is understated. We have produced an exquisitely crafted Showcase this week, beautifully restrained pictorial about love, loneliness and loss is caressed sensitively as we empathetically chronicle not only the characters who grieve for people not only absent from their lives but also for the desires they have by default relinquished, whether sexual or emotional. New love affairs represent another version of our future, trilogies of desire, reconciled as we expedite our lives. Stay in the present, they tell us, be present. I say, throw your imagination forward, live in the future, the perpetual orbit of life is ours, live it and love what you do, the rest will follow.

Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured this week:

Brendan O Se, Anastasia Potekhina, Jeronimo Sanz, Lorenka Campos, Waymann Stairs, Dina Alfasi, Jun Yamaguchi, woltarise, Fiona Keyes, Alan Kastner, Aylin Argun, Louise Whiting, jillian2 – Jill Lian, Francesco Sambati, Deborah McMillion, Damian De Souza, Montse Abad, Abdalis_3k60, Y f, Basak Aytek, Lydia Cassatt, Jean Hutter, Larissa Paschoalli, sculptorli, Oola Cristina, Ile Mont, Vanessa Vox, TheiPhoneArtGirl – Meri Walker, Tomaso Belloni, Beate Goralczyk, Gina Costa, Karen Axelrad, Kate Zari Roberts, Ginluca Ricoveri, carlein, Amo iPhoneography, Clint Cline, Jim Yoksimovich.

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 19 November 2017

2017-11-19 by Joanne Carter

Laying the foundations of Mobile Photography and Art, this weeks Flickr group showcase is as much a meditation on great art as it is also of human passion. Every artist, moreover, perhaps every human knows, has experienced, is experiencing or seeking, passion. Passion does not have to mean sex, or ‘intelligent sex’ as Robert Mapplethorpe described his ‘ideal passion’. No passion for art is a seduction in itself and when you view this showcase, free from all constraints, you will experience the intense relationship, each artist has not only with their art but also with each of us. Enjoy!

Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured this week:

Juta Jazz, jillian2 – Jill Lian, Em Kachouro, Giulia Baita, Tuba, BVP590, Allyson Marie, Mirza Kafi, Deborah McMillion, Dina Alfasi, Lorenka Campos, Susan Maxwell Schmidt, Jean Hutter, borisbschulz2009, Valeria Cammareri, Pat Berardici, Pier Luigi Dodi, Vadim Demjianov, Karen Axelrad, Y F, Jun Yamaguchi, Carlein, Kathy Clay, Clint Cline, Rene Valencia, Kate Zari Roberts, Eliza Badoiu, Catherine Caddigan, Candice Railton, Gianluca Ricoveri, Luis Fernandez, Brendan O Se, Poetic Medium, Alan Kastner, Ile Mont, Gina Costa, Hanni K, Jim Perdue, before.1st.light – Jane Schultz, Barbara Nebel, TheiPhoneArtGirl – Meri Walker, soul_engine, Valeria Cammareri, Paul Toussaint, Marianne Rieter, p.a. hamel.
