Gray’s Anatomy – I lost my iPhone! – By Richard Gray
It’s Friday again! Wow, the weeks seem to whizz past faster and faster – of course Friday’s around here mean one thing, Richard Gray’s Gray’s Anatomy column and this week is a bitter sweet recount of Richard and his escaping iPhone – don’t miss this, over to you Richard (foreword by Joanne Carter). ‘It’s every iPhone photographers nightmare – last Saturday, I lost my phone! I’d been at a music festival and had developed a small rip in my shorts, which, what with all the clambering around and stuffing things in my pockets, by the end of the day had developed into a huge hole around my upper…

Gray’s Anatomy – Wo ist mein Handy? – By Richard Gray
I hope this column doesn’t come across as too self-absorbed, but I will take the advice of someone on Twitter who recently said to me there was nothing wrong with celebrating one’s successes. Though on reflection, I’m not sure this is such a great success. I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by leading German newspaper Bild about my iphoneography classes. In the article, I’m described as a Handy-Knipser and also (possibly) a Handy-Nutzer. I rather like these terms. The Handy-Knipser sounds a bit kinky, said one of my friends. But it reminded me of something I already knew from my previous job (I worked in a mainly German-speaking…

Gray’s Anatomy – what are you oggling at? – By Richard Gray
“This week saw the launch of Hipstamatic’s long-awaited photo-sharing app. And what have they decided to call their new app, I hear you ask? Well, no doubt after great investment in some expensive Los Angeles PR consultancy, they’ve settled on the name Oggl. OK, yes, like Flickr, Tumblr, Grmblr, they’ve missed out some letters. That’s the first five minutes of the consultant’s fee. But what about the actual meaning of the word. Or the things that people think of when they hear it. Did they road-test it in the UK? Possibly not. Did they even road-test it anywhere? Possibly not. The (presumably American) Urban Dictionary gives as an example of…

‘Streets Ahead’ – Brand New Women’s Street Photography Column By JQ Gaines and Maddy McCoy
We are incredibly excited to announce that JQ Gaines and Maddy McCoy have joined The App Whisperer with a brand new Column entitled ‘Streets Ahead’. JQ Gaines already contributes to Parallel ll Perspectives with Catherine Restivo but this Column is very different and unique, as indeed they are all.

One cold February night in 2013, Maddy McCoy and JQ Gaines found themselves walking up 8th Avenue (in NYC), engaged in an animated conversation that centered around a shared belief that women street photographers are under represented in the mobile photography community. Street photography has long been…

Gray’s Anatomy – Are you self-obsessed? – By Richard Gray
Yes, it’s Friday again and that means one thing around here and one thing only, Richard Gray’s, Gray’s Anatomy column article. This week Richard discusses the psychology of ‘selfies’. Seriously, don’t miss this, over to you Richard. (Foreword by Joanne Carter). Are you a bit self-obsessed? Well, like my Mum always used to say if I said “very unique”, I’m not sure you can be “a bit” self-obsessed. But let’s go with it. And do you take photos? If your answers are yes and yes, you’ve probably taken a “selfie”. Or in highfalutin parlance, a self-portrait. Or in simple terms, a picture of yourself. With most smart phones,…
