Mobile Photography – StreetWise Showcase – December 2016
“I go out every day. When I get depressed at the office, I go out, and as soon as I’m on the street and see people, I feel better. But I never go out with a preconceived idea. I let the street speak to me.” Bill Cunningham Hello everyone! Firstly, we’d like to wish you all a wonderful and inspired New Year.

Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Ninth Challenge – ‘Animals on the Street’
Hello Everyone! The theme of our next challenge is ‘Animals on the Street.’ “I try to frame in terms of what I want to include. I don’t think about pictures. When I photograph. I see life. That’s all there is – in my viewfinder.” Garry Winogrand We hope you enjoy this theme as ‘streets’ and the animals that inhabit them are intimately connected. Whether the animals are domesticated, trained, loved and adored by their owners or birds maneuvering their way through the open air of the streets, they are an integral part of the urban landscape. We are very excited to view your submissions each month and look forward to…

Mobile Photography / Art New Year Resolutions 2017 From Around The World
When we think of a new year, we sometimes think of a fresh start and with that, our minds start racing with ways to improve on what we did last year. Sometimes, New Year Resolutions are ambitious, sometimes less so but all are supposed to hold the promise of commitment for the entire year. This can be difficult to achieve and it can be hard to keep up the enthusiasm but not impossible. It’s important to not only enjoy big goals but also to enjoy the little things, looking at the stars at night, walking barefoot in the grass… essentially bring more peace to our lives. In many ways, following…

Grand Flickr Group Showcase of 2016 – TheAppWhisperer – Mobile Photography and Art
I had intended to publish our 2016 Grand Flickr Group Showcase of Mobile Photography and Art on Christmas Day this year. I had prepared most of it ahead of time and was relatively well organised to go live on 25 December. However, events took a turn for the worse and as I awoke after a thoroughly turbulent night on the morning of 24 December, I picked up my phone and saw a Facebook message coming through from a friend expressing how sorry she was for the loss of Carolyn Hall Young a few hours before. For a few moments, I thought I was still in the midst of the wretched…

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 18 December 2016
“Yet in order to do almost anything, you have to act against the gravity of grief. It is heavy, it pulls you down, and you have to make a deliberate effort to overcome it. You have to decide that you won’t fall”. Wise words spoken by Israeli author David Grossman in a recent interview. So many in the world are grieving right now and we have to find ways to cope with this. To creatives, it is through art and this weeks mobile photography and art showcase is filled with brilliant images, a translation of artists emotions, is how I like to understand them.

Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Eighth Challenge – ‘People Working in the Street’
Hello Everyone! The theme of our next challenge is ‘People Working in the Street’ “The question is not what you look at, but what you see” Henry Thoreau. This is a popular theme and for good reason — people are at work everywhere on the street. In our daily lives, we see folks in uniforms working for local municipalities on the street, such as policemen and women, traffic officers, school crossing guards, street cleaners to name just a few. Others sell things on the street from clothing and accessories to fruits and veggies, books, or anything at all. People work in ways that can be seen from the street, in…
