Mobile Photography & Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 1 May 2022

Visualise going through the activities of a typical day while deeply caring about what you are doing, a day in which sensitivity, affection, warmth and wonder fill the moments. That love-filled life is your birthright as a human being… beautiful words from ‘The Art and Practice of Loving: Living a Heartfelt…

“I told you I was ill‘, my favourite black comedy quote, by Spike Milligan, engraved into his gravestone. For many, health anxiety is a compartment of life – a dark cell – usually totally separate from their day-to-day self. Of course, there’s a lot to be anxious about in the world today and this phenomena shows no sigh of shrinking. Psychoanalyst Michael Currie notes that we rarely deal with the causes of anxiety – job insecurity for example, or social isolation – when trying to treat it. Writing in The Monthly, he says: “Anxiety-as-disease is treated much like an infection, as if the symptoms were a bacterium that should be eradicated.” The…

This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘Climate’ by Meghann Plunkett. She is a prize winner poet, author, and currently works as television writer on various Trip the Lights and Shondaland productions. Here she explains the meaning to this poem “As a child of a traditional woman, and growing up in New England on a small peninsula of land, I witnessed erosions of many kinds. The shoreline curbing back a few inches after each storm, the flooding of our main streets, the ways the women of my family would shrink and serve—what they would tolerate—always under the threat of disappearing. It took me years to realize that…

“In these last decades ‘concerned’ photography has done at least as much to deaden conscience as to arouse it”, Sontag, S. On Photography (1979). Sontag argued that beleaguering the public with sensationalist photographs of war and poverty was a definitive way to numb the public’s response. Sontag believed that the more distressing images people viewed, the more immune they became to their impact; viewers became reduced to inaction, either through guilt or a dismissive lethargy towards making a difference. Sontag reversed this view in Regarding the Pain of Others (2004), but ‘compassion fatigue’ is still used as an argument against war imagery today. I have been thinking about this a…

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 9 January 2022
I like to create targets for myself, that way, it helps me to keep on schedule and achieve what I intend to do. For so long, I’ve been reading one book a week and by doing so, it allows me to travel, throughout the world, there’s a sense of freedom I experience with each page turned. This week I’ve been reading a novel about economic migrancy, called The Road Home. A subject we’re all aware of but so often ignore. The author Rose Tremain tackles the issues brilliantly. The main character, Lev is 42 and has left his Russian home following the recent death of his beloved wife from leukemia…
