Local Photogs To Be Featured In Mobile Photography Gallery Exhibit “I grew up in Seattle, but as soon as I’d saved enough money for a house, I chose the Burien area. I’ve spent many glorious (and soggy) hours at Seahurst Park and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I went to the Northwest School of the Arts, Humanities, and Environment in Seattle (with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, Jason Finn of The Presidents of the United States, annnnd Steve Turner of Mudhoney) and then The Evergreen State College in Olympia.”

The Stranger
The Fast and the Frozen The Darkroom Series, at Zeitgeist Coffee, is pictures taken on mobile devices. “The easy access,” Boohi Bronson writes, “makes for capturing every stupid beautiful little thing.” Bronson is a member of Juxt, the Seattle “mobile arts community” that organized the Series—Juxt was founded to explore the possibilities of making art while moving, speed being a source of chance. Written profiles of members extol the democracy of the form: busy mothers becoming practicing photographers, for instance.”

Some Badass MoPho’s: We Are Juxt Exhibit features Top Mobile Photography ”It seems like only yesterday when the only way to take pictures was to buy a big, bulky and expensive piece of equipment. Now, everyone with a smartphone is a photographer and We Are Juxt is out to show the world the beauty created by mobile devices.”

2012: The year in mobile photography While 2011 marked many milestones for mobile photography (including the explosive growth of Instagram, numerous major gallery showings of mobile photography art, the first major mobile photography conference, the formation of mobile shooter “super groups” like the Mobile Photo Group, JUXT and AMPt, the abundance of mobile images in photojournalism, and so much more) that it didn’t seem possible 2012 could be any bigger for the nascent art of mobile photography.

Mobile Phone Photography Takes Off in Seattle ”Forty square-shaped photographs neatly hang from a wall at Zeitgeist Coffee in Pioneer Square. It might seem like any other Seattle art show, but this one is a little different.” (VIDEO)
