Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Welcome and Second Challenge
“Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.” Greetings everyone! Welcome to our second StreetWise Mobile Photography Showcase Challenge. The theme this time is shadows – to shoot street photographs that have shadows in them in black and white, color, or both.

Sometimes, the details that we don’t see by the presence of a shadow are more interesting than seeing the subject matter itself. There are endless possibilities whichever way you choose to include shadows in…
Mobile Photography – StreetsAhead – Tribute to Arjan van der Horst Challenge Results
This challenge showcase was devoted to our Arjan van der Horst who we tragically lost not so long ago. The challenge was to use the Arjan film (created by the Hipstamatic team in honour of Arjan) to capture images in the way we knew he would from the wonderful images he left us to remember him by. The four images I have selected I feel best capture the spirit and style of our dear friend. With many congratulations and huge thanks to Paula Betlem, FrauLN, Karen Axelrad, Christine Mignon, Gillian Brodie, Giulia Baita, Armineh Hovanesian, Montse Abad, Patricia Januszkiewicz, Ile Mont, Lee Atwell, Heather McAlister, Gina Costa, Marsha Leith, Lila Lile, Cara Gallardo…
