New Projects – Our New Form of Artistic Installation aka ‘The Quilt’ Is Ready!

2018-09-132018-09-11 by Joanne Carter

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 like to display it at your next event, please contact her for details.

I have also been reminded and I shouldn’t have needed to be however, “Linda Toki did the whole layout of the quilt and had it printed. She also spent days working on the catalog so I really think she deserves a shout out as the quilt would never have happened without her”. We all need to give huge thanks to Linda M. Toki – join me!!

With many thanks to everyone involved in this project, Lorenka Campos, Kate Zari Roberts, Roger Guetta, Linda Toki, Karen Axelrad, Christine O’ Sobczak, Jane Schultz, Marian Seid Rubin, Gina Costa, Armineh Hovanesian, Susan Rennie, Catherine Schell Caddigan, Elaine Taylor, M.

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @youmobile – Days 3 – 4

2018-06-082018-06-08 by Dilshad Corleone

We are so excited with our brand new takeover of our Instagram account, take a look at what’s been happening over the past couple of days (foreword by Joanne Carter).

“Captured by @sunflowerof21 – A week of celebration and recognition, the loveliest of them all in @youmobile, Elaine, is mostly recognised for her fantastic portraiture work of her family, especially her son. Her use of the colours’ palette with mostly matching subtle pastels like soft colours with the impeccable use of light and shadows make her work truly delight to look, here instead of one of her classic I chose flowers, nonetheless the beauty comes out from whatever she photographs!

Captured by @polylm – A week of celebration and recognition, the gentleman geek @youmobile, Marco, to whom nothing is impossible, he eats innovation for breakfast, has technologically new gadgets for lunch and strange coding for dinner, his snacks are renowned to dwell in the realm of AugmentedReality and VirtualReality… the most humblest and nicest chap i have met for a long time and his photos are nothing less, stills from films of peoples’ lives, Marco has a sharp eye for contrasted colours and dream like landscape and geometric architecture!!

Please take a look at our @TheAppWhisperer Instagram account to follow all the goings on and please also tag your images with #TheAppWhisperer, so that they can be found and potentially featured”.

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @italianbrother – Days 10 – 13

2018-06-052018-06-05 by Joanne Carter

We are so excited with our latest Instagram TAKEOVER this time with @italianbrother – Dilshad Corleone from England, UK. He is a respected and very talented mobile street photographer. @italianbrother has been granted full access to our Instagram account and he is doing a very impressive job. We are very proud of him!

On Day 10 he selected an image by @oolacristina – Oola Cristina and he writes “Ceci n’est pas une poir.” Obviously i changed pipe with poir, this image reminded me of Magritte’s famous one! Love the simplicity and the colour palette. Thank you for tagging!”

On Day 11 he selected an image by @the.sky.above.the.rain and he writes “We take for granted many things in out life, we wake up every day, we can see, smell, the sun shined even today, there parks full of life, so “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy” – A. Frank”.

On Day 12 he selected an image by @poeticmedium and he writes “Poetry can be expressed in many ways, does it have to be with the written medium? Or poems and poetry can be fruited with the use of anything that can inspire feelings? I shall leave you with this question”.

On Day 13 he selected an image by @kathyc2136 and he writes “Photography melting into art and a metapainting in itself! A man standing and looking at a painting, while being photographed and then a transmutation of that into a painting in itself”.

Next and onwards we are now running a very special feature of celebration and recognition with @youmobile – don’t miss that!

2018-06-012018-06-01 by Joanne Carter

On Day 8 he selected a wonderful image by @iphonefineartphotography and he writes “I remember walking down the shores of Kent, on a windy wintery day, huge swollen waves of a cold sea rising majestically, and this old man, with his Sherlock Holmes’ hat and a Barbour parka, relentlessly fighting the bitter chill, with the hope of a big catch, I thought; yet, when approached I asked him why, and he merely said it’s good for the soul, the only moment of utter freedom in a prison society. He was true, and true is this photo! Thank you for tagging!”

On Day 9 he selected a wonderful image by @jujufolies and he writes “Long time ago on an autumn’s night, a face, memories of days passed, the drops of rain, that sound, your face, the smile, your eyes, a love story in the making… or maybe not… so many questions… thank you for tagging!!!!”

On Day 10 he selected a wonderful image by @sevenography and he writes “Portrait photography and poetry have a lot in come, both inspire strong feelings!!!! They make you stop and wonder, think, ponder, they want to make you want more! And same is the case for this wonderful and mysterious shot! Thank you for tagging!”

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @luison – Days 11 – 14

2018-05-222018-05-21 by Joanne Carter

We are so grateful to @luison – lrh arquitecto – Luis – whom we entrusted with our Instagram account for 21 days after he was gracefully handed the baton by @sunflowerof21 – Elaine Taylor. To view all the posts in the series, please go here. Or of course, head over to our @theappwhisperer Instagram account.

On Day 11 @luison highlighted the work of @john_nieto – John Nieto and he writes “Cartier-Bresson introduced the concept “Decisive Moment”. Quoting Eric Kim “it is a split second of genius and inspiration that a photographer had to capture a certain moment. This moment is fleeting, meaning that once you miss that half of a second to capture that moment, it is gone forever. You can never recreate the same circumstances in terms of location and people”. The picture I feature today is a perfect example of the decisive moment. Half a second later, that black ribbon would not seem to be coming out of the woman´s eye. Great shot indeed. ~ @luison”.

On Day 12 @luison highlighted the work of @marczetterblom – Marc Zetterblom and he writes “Anyone who knows my work knows that I love reflections. I love to see the world in a different way than our eyes usually see it. That’s the reason why I couldn’t help featuring this incredibly beautiful reflection by Marc. It’s really fascinating, I love everything in it. What a beauty!. ~ @luison”

Also on Day 12 @luison highlighted the work of @kallyklick and he writes “Scrolling down the hashtag #theappwhisperer I came across this pic of a headless commuter, and I didn’t doubt it, I had to feature it. I just love the main character of the image, the headless man, the light in it, and of course, the beautiful tones obtained by using the right combination lens + film of Hisptamatic. Simply wonderful. ~ @luison”

Later on Day 12 @luison highlighted the work of @polym – Marco Lamberto and he writes “I started this takeover by featuring a pic by Fabio, the founder of @youmobile, a group of crazy mobile photographers I belong to. I would like to take advantage of these last two days to feature the rest of its members. I personally know two of them. I hope to meet the other two in the future. I shall start by featuring this extraordinary street image by @polylm . Perfect framing, perfect light on the woman’s face. He’s one of the nicest Italians I’ve ever met. Marco is my friend. Coraggio, Marco! ~ @luison”

On Day 13 @luison highlighted the work of @elizarealise – Elisabetta and he writes “Another Italian friend and a great mobile photographer is Eli. I like very much the way she edits her images. It’s always a soft edit, with a smooth contrast. Nice and simple images, like the one I’m featuring today. I ~ @luison”

On Day 14 @luison highlighted the work of @italianbrother – Dilshad Corleone and he writes “Time to feature the two members of youmobile living in UK, both very talented and extraordinary mobile photographers, and both using #theappwhisperer tag on all their pictures. Starting with this incredible image by Dilshad, one of the best portraits I’ve ever come across ~ @luison”

Later on Day 14 @luison highlighted the work of @sunflowerof21 – Elaine Taylor and he writes “I’d love to finish my takeover by featuring my predecessor in this task, and also member of youmobile, @sunflowerof21 and her alter ego @subflowerof21_365 . Elaine has two handsome sons who are also her best models. I love the way she photographs them, as well as the pictures she takes of flowers. Thank you, Elaine. I would also like to thank Joanne Carter for this wonderful opportunity. Curating the #theappwhisperer tag for the past two weeks has been an incredible experience, as well as a way to learn so much. Thank you, Joanne xx ~ @luison”

So, very sadly for us we have to ask @luison to hand over the baton to our next featured artist. We are going to miss him deeply but we do know that you are all going to be very excited indeed when we tell you who he is handing over the baton to next! Stay tuned!

Please keep tagging your images with #TheAppWhisperer if you would like our new featured artist to find your art and hope to be found and possibly featured.
