Mobile Photography – TrueView Interview “Why do I Create Mobile Photography/Art?” with Jay Desind from Venice, Italy
Having spent the morning with Jay Desind at Tate Britain, him in a cowboy hat and me in a fur (not real) coat, where he videoed me (more on that later) ;), I felt it only appropriate that I publish his TrueView Interview here today. Our TrueView Interview section is an area where we ask one singular question, to mobile photographers and artists and it is captured to video.

Mobile Photography & Art – The Courage to be Afraid – Showcase for Carolyn Hall Young
Recently, I set up a Facebook group entitled – The Courage to be Afraid – A Tender Tribute to Human Valiance with Carolyn Hall Young. Hall Young is our dear friend and hugely talented artist and many of you are aware that she is currently experiencing particularly challenging health issues. This group was made with love and is full of love from all the artists who have joined this group to create and share their images for her. I have complied each image into a film showcase, so that she can view all of them in one sitting (hopefully). When she is feeling more well, I am sure she will…

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).

In assessing my goals for the New Year, I don’t list tasks, I analyze the optimal approaches in reaching those goals, breaking…

Kickstarter – ‘Everyday’ by Jay Desind
Take a look at this fabulous KickStarter by Jay Desind, in his own words: “everyday is the culmination of a photographic and artistic odyssey that began when I bought a one way ticket to Singapore. My intent was to travel for about two months and then return home. I never made it back home. Over three years later I’ve traveled to over 30 countries and taken over 160,000 photographs.
