iSights – ‘When Stupid Girls Use Smart Phones’ – by Janine Graf
We are so delighted to publish Janine Graf’s seventh article to her iSights Column with us. This time Janine shows off her movie recording skills utilizing Instagram’s brand new feature, don’t miss this, over to you Janine (foreword by Joanne Carter). Hi everybody!

I’ll have you all know that I do read books and watch the news. Sure, I lost some serious IQ points…
Vivian Maier: lost art of an urban photographer – On BBC One Tonight – June 25, 2013
I am a massive fan of Vivian Maier’s work and as the BBC point out, ‘She’s been called ‘the greatest photographer you’ve never heard of’… the mysterious Vivian Maier, a nanny based in Chicago who took about 150,000 photographs in her lifetime and stashed them away, not showing them to anyone.

That’s it and believe it or not over 200 million snaps are…

American Aperture Awards – Last Day For Entry
Bob Weil has just dropped me a line to ask me to remind you all that today is the last day to enter the American Aperture Awards. See our original post here – they extended the deadline to 24th from 17th June 2013. Bob Weil and Daria Polichetti (iPhoneArt.com) are jurors for the mobile component of the American Aperture Awards. It is not primarily a mobile arts competition. Founded by Chris Davies, the publisher of Fabrik Magazine in LA (a former LA photography gallery owner) and a select collection of art books, AX3 should be an interesting new addition to the cross-genre photography exhibition scene. I’m sure looking forward to…
