Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 9 July 2017
“The past only comes back‘, wrote Virginia Woolf in her unfinished memoir, “when the present runs so smoothly that it is like the sliding surface of a deep river.

I confess, I am a huge fan of Virginia Woolf, the English writer who is considered to be one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century and essentially (to me) a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. I ‘discovered’ Woolf’s work as a young girl, long before my eldest son attended boarding school, in Lewes, where she died, drowning herself in the River Ouse, not…

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 14 August 2016
Creative arts and rejection go hand in hand, the latter is almost part of the process. It’s not just within the creative arts that we hanker to be accepted, to suceed, to realise our dreams. We all need each other to thrive, it’s the nature of humanity, human beings need one another.

But it hurts, rejection in any form hurts, because our feelings are deeply intimate. When we are judged unfairly through untruths, the more upset we…

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 17 April 2016
There is no silence more resounding than that of a cognitive communication malfunction. To be awake, to understand, to feel excruciating pain, to be aware of an existence but unable to reply. We all live complex and miracles of life, diverting us, pleasing us, frightening, transforming and defining us. We share so much, least of all our love for mobile photography and art. This weeks showcase explores profound emotional and visceral matters. It is an elegant and moving film, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. If you would like your work to be considered for entry into our weekly Mobile Photography and Art flickr group,…

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 18 October 2015
Engrossing at every level, this weeks Flickr Group Showcase will pull you in. It’s fabulously absorbing, with the lightest touch, almost a disquisition on the nature of storytelling itself. There’s a rich and enfolding narrative, offering a glimpse of other people’s stories complete with the breathless pace and heat of Stephanie Schneiderman’s Oxygen track. This is passion, feel it… 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 – 11 October 2015
The Nobel laureate Herta Muller once said, “language is so different from life. How am I supposed to fit the one into the other? How can I bring them together?”. Art has amazing power to foster collaboration between different societies and can be a powerful way to bring communities together. Art has the capacity to heal…One of the many things your art brings to us all is it helps us to recognise what we did not know before. Thank you.
