Mobile Photography – StreetWise Showcase – September 2016
“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” Henri Cartier-Bresson It is incredibly inspiring to view all of the photos submitted to our StreetWise Flickr group from around the world – from stunning night scenes, to dramatic black and whites, to captures filled with color, to photos that touch the heart. Thank you so much for participating and inspiring us…

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 17 July 2016
Art and health are in-explicitly linked, we know the obvious health benefits and therapeutic advantages of creating physical art with paintings and photography but also it’s linked with literature and medicine. Many will notice ‘the ‘language barrier’ when visiting a doctor. Sometimes your doctor may not understand your condition because you cannot describe it lucidly enough and in turn, your doctor cannot describe the proposed treatment because he cannot explain it squarely to you. Language is integral to medicine, as an art, this means language is integral to our health. Chekhov famously quipped: “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend…
Mobile Photography – StreetWise Showcase – June 2016
“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.” Robert Frank We were thrilled and particularly moved by your photos submitted to our StreetWise Flickr group and chose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group’s intention and guidelines “We believe that it is important to focus on the key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying on too much aping. We therefore feel that aping should be kept to a minimum cropping, tweaking exposure, colour, adding a grain or texture is ok but we would like to see you steer away from overly app’ed images…

Welcome to our May 2016 StreetWise Showcase – we are thrilled to share it with you! “A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there – even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.” Robert Doisneau We were moved by your photos submitted to our ‘StreetWise’ Flickr group and chose images for the Showcase that are in keeping with our group’s intention and guidelines – “We believe that it is important to focus on the key aspects of the craft of street photography – composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching that decisive moment – rather…
Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 3 April 2016
It is a huge privilege to me to present this weeks Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group showcase on my birthday! It’s been pure joy to look at each one of your images in detail and to curate them here. I’ve been up early this morning because I am very lucky to be going out to lunch with my mother (who is spending a few days in England) and family to celebrate this day. It’s so important that each one of us opens up space for ourselves, it is truly a life-affirming and sacred act. We were not put here to grow old when we were young. We were put…
