Mobile MasterPeace Interview with Alexis Rotella

2020-01-302020-01-29 by Joanne Carter

We are delighted to publish our first Mobile MasterPeace Interview, as mentioned in our Sunday Showcase, 26 January 2020. Alexis Rotella is a prize-winning poet who specializes in Japanse Poetry in English forms. Author of many books (Amazon.com), her #metoo anthology, Unsealing Our Secrets was awarded a Touchstone Book Award 2018. Alexis is an acupuncturist who is looking to relocate to North Carolina.

This is a fascinating interview with Rotella and it has touched me deeply, I feel as though I am with her in person, sharing these insights. I am also delighted that I was cited within this interview as an influence to others, encouraging and nurturing the ready talent within our community. I was not alone either, Rotella has also cited the work of Giulia Baita, Vicki Cooper, Karen Divine and Andrea Bigiarini and I couldn’t agree more. Enjoy!

Mobile Photography / Art – Saturday Poetry – “The Mothering Blackness” Maya Angelou with @findflorentine

2018-10-13 by Joanne Carter

This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘The Mothering Blackness’ by Maya Angelou. With a firm root in African American history, many of Angelou’s poems, such as this one, can be traced to the work songs slaves sang. The repeating lines give the sense of a refrain, and varying line lengths and numbers of syllables give an improvised feel. Songs passed down orally, such as work songs, are often narratives: this poem tells the story of a girl running back to “the mothering blackness.” The regularly indented lines also give the impression that at least two voices are speaking, which would have been the case in work songs that were almost always sung by a collective.

I have matched art work entitled ‘4 ma friends‘ by @findflorentine – yefri with this poem. You can view and follow her on Instagram here.

Lightroom for Mobile 2.1, Now Available!

2015-12-162015-12-16 by Joanne Carter

Adobe have announced update 2.1 to Lightroom for mobile today. This new version adds some great new features including:

iPad Pro support and support for iOS 9’s multitasking capabilities
Point Curve mode for the Tone Curve and the Split Tone adjustments tool
Support for 3D touch and a new widget to launch the Adobe built-in camera from the iOS Notification Center
New shoot-through presets in the Adobe built-in camera, and more.

Adobe Light for mobile is free and you can download it here.

In this release, Adobe have optimised the app to work on an iPad Pro and to also support the multitasking functionality new in iOS 9. On iPads and iPad Pros, Lightroom for iOS 2.1 enables both the Slide Over functionality so that you can quickly interact with other apps without having to switch apps as well as Split View so that you can run two apps at once, such as reading a tutorial while working within Lightroom.

Interestingly too, the 3D touch functionality introduced with the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus opened up a new realm of possibilities for speeding up interaction. With Lightroom for iOS 2.1, you can use 3D touch on the home screen to open the camera directly or in the collection view to Peek and Pop an image, to quickly check which image you’d like to edit before moving into the Loupe view. Lightroom for iOS 2.1 also adds a Notification Center widget that lets you quickly open the camera found within Lightroom for mobile.In Lightroom for mobile 2.0 we added in a brand-new camera experience, built from the ground up to provide powerful new capture experiences.

Creating An Alternative Reality – Mobile Street Photography by Paul Brown

2014-11-142014-11-14 by Paul Brown

We are delighted to publish this fabulous iPhone Photography workflow by Paul Brown. This time Paul Brown provides some wonderful advice and tips to aid your street photography. We have the greatest respect for Paul Brown’s articles and we’re delighted to add this to our Paul Brown archive, you can read that here. Over to you Paul (foreword by Joanne Carter)…

To view Paul’s website, please go here

“How annoying is street photography when you have the elements you like but you can’t get them quite where you want them? That’s the nature of candid street photography I guess.

I don’t quite see myself in that genre though. It’s not a naturally comfortable environment. The candid street images I see are inspirational and so I keep plugging away but only when I’m feeling at ease. When people take it a stage further and start heading towards street portraiture then things really go way beyond my own style. The famous quote “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough” 1 never far from my mind”.
