Hi Instagram, @mobilephotonet is curating beautiful mobile street and documentary photography at #MPNselects, like this beautiful image by @_ariellevin_ Beautiful photography is not photographs of beauty. It's the rare ability to see and capture the world through the eyes of a camera. It is the ability to combine or disconnect visual elements to make exist what otherwise does not. Beautiful photography reveals what wasn't obvious, what isn't there, and what would never exist without the photograph itself existing. Beautiful photography is about seeing the photograph itself as an object, not simply seeing a beautiful object in a photograph. @mobilephotonet invites you to see, or be seen at #MPNselects.

Sunny London #selfie with this legend, @olivierclaurent. Olivier is the outgoing associate editor of the British Journal of Photography and also @FLTRlive (he's heading off to join TIME LightBox in New York later this year). It's fantastic to have people like Olivier in photography. His support of quality mobile photography is absolutely incredible. I'm very grateful to have met him and for the chance to hear his thoughts on the future of photography.

It's nice, but unfortunately I've just broken both my sunset and silhouette rules. Shot while running with the sun in my eyes, this is not good photography, it's just a pretty picture. #theweekendwalkabout
Sun setting along Oxford St, London #london #igerslondon
Friday evening before dinner with @instituteartist friends from FORMAT photo festival. Definitely going to shoot more around this way, reminds me of Sydney space (and it's close to work). Old tricks, new streets. #london #igerslondon #everybodystreet
I got hit once while shooting this huge pillow fight. Well, I got hit a lot, but only once did it make me drop the phone. I haven't ever broken my phone screen, not in 5 years while shooting almost daily. So S the phone fell it was a very strange feeling. But at this point there was at least ten centimetres of feathers everywhere under foot, so the phone wasn't damaged at all. It just sort of bounced. It was definitely lucky.
Photo from the pillow fight in London last Saturday... ~ Aside from the amount of information, the level of complexity that works on a photo depends entirely on the expertise of those who use it. A photo that would overwhelm and confuse some people might seem simple to others, because it’s familiar and they know what to look for. In other words, appropriate boundaries for the level of complexity cannot be established arbitrarily or generally; where the lines are drawn depends entirely on the audience. ~ Quote adapted from Stephen Few, whose book The Effective Visual Communication of Data is my current read.
Editing iPhone images from last Saturday's massive pillow fight in London. My advice is to bring a mask... #london
Thanks again to everyone who came along to the @selfieschool at @tategallery last Friday. I'll be looking for more interesting images tagged #selfieschool so if you have anything to submit please tag your images. If you know anyone who has been taking interesting #selfie tag them so they can get involved in the @selfieschool project. ✌️
Longer days in London are very welcome. More light please. #liverpoolst #london #street #light
Shot in the rain yesterday - this one is for you @hellopoe. Cheer up! It can always get worse... 🇬🇧💛🇬🇧
#tb to shooting with Vincent in Hyde Park in 2013, another iPhone and LED test shoot I really enjoyed. It was nice to see @benjaminheath featured recently on the @instagram blog for his #makeportraits work. DM me if you're interested in shooting in London over Spring/Summer!
Hey IG, I've taught mobile photography at a lot of great places, I'm happy to announce I'll be teaching a course aimed at social media and journalism professionals at LCC this year. Limited spaces available, the link will be in my bio! Cheers #UAL #London #londoncollegeofcommunication #shortcourse

Another shot during the pillow fight today in London.
Saturday's takings ruined for a street performer, takes out her frustration by joining in...
Drive-by pillow fighting. She had two pillows and gave everyone HELL. When she dropped one a guy picked it up, gave it to her and she wacked him to say thanks. BADASS.

@danrubin wearing @thomas_pink_ at the after party stage for @scoundrelsuk gala. We were invited along to document the night, along with @miss_jess and @chaiwalla. Really great to get turned loose with a mobile phone at such a fun event. #dirtyrottenscoundrels #westend #thesavoy
Robert Lindsay, star of the show here recording a short video message for Tom Jones, who was at dinner, then coming back to the #dirtyrottenscoundrels after party at #thesavoytheatre. He told Tom that he took his advice, but it almost killed him during the second verse of a song. Advice unknown.
Portrait of the "@westendproducer" (from Twitter) at the Savoy. A really nice guy behind the mask. I invited him to @selfieschool tomorrow at @tategallery. Hope he makes it. #dirtyrottenscoundrels #thesavoytheatre #westend

A #london #latergram
Hey folks, sometimes I have the pleasure of teaching mobile photography - this shot was a bunch of awesome kids at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney getting stuck into some abstract imagery. Now, if you're in London please keep Friday the 4 April free in the evening - there's something very fun in the works I'd be super happy to see you at...
Already back around London Bridge, off to wish @igerslondon a happy 3rd birthday down in Borough. Happy Monday to you all, especially the nice new people following since the @24hourproject. 🎂👋2⃣4⃣💤
Can we post the @24hourproject #latergram stuff now?

My heart says yes, but my head says no... I'm bowing out early, but I've really enjoyed my first #24hourproject - special thanks to @fortheluvof, @missunderground, @chaiwalla and @time_lapse for keeping me company in London. Hope we can have a big London crew next year. THE:END in #London by @oggsie as part of the #24hourproject #24hr14 #24hr14_London. For more information please visit the @24hourproject

A painting of the view from Millennium Bridge, on chewing gum stuck on Millennium Bridge. I met the artist, Ben Wilson, late one night when walking across the bridge. He paints miniature scenes on chewing gum that gets stuck on the bridge, although all his works eventually get removed. 11:47 in #London by @oggsie as part of the #24hourproject #24hr14 #24hr14_London.

I'm working on a photo book. I have no real idea where to start, except I have the title and 5 years of mobile street/portrait images to sort through. Some smart people told me to begin by creating a series of Zines along the way. Anyone know a good London based Zine publisher?
#tbt spent all of New Year's Eve 2012 booking flights to Hong Kong for 7am on New Year's Day 2013. Slept 2 hours, flew 8 hours (I don't sleep on planes) and saw this sunset over HK bay. #hongkong #everybodystreet #candid
Wednesday still life, London.
Another shot from Sensing Spaces at the Royal Academy of Art. Head downing you have a chance, and check out the video first because what the architects say is really applicable to photography also. #luminainfocus #sensingspaces #london

Instagram, the next month is going to be hectic. It's less than a week until the 2014 @24hourproject. I'll be joining from London, shooting and sharing one photo every hour from 12:00am to 11:59pm on Saturday 22 March. 24 photos in 24 hours. The @24hourproject is a street photography project to document the human aspect of multiple cities during one single day. The project was created by Renzo Grande @aliveinnyc and Sam Smotherman @whittiersam. You an still sign up to take part, if you're up for it? In 2013, over 300 street photographers documented more than 132 cities during a 24hour day sharing one photo per hour capturing the essence, complexity and aspect of humanity world wide. #24hourproject
The ultimate #tbt ~ family fine dining on a camping trip (in Oz) with my brother (left) who is currently hiking the remote South coast of Tasmania. Won't know if he's ok for over another week. Safe travels bro.
