Art of Mob Comes to a Close

In July of 2012, I discovered the world of iPhone photography. Although it had been going strong for a few years, it was new to me - the possibilities excited me! Art of Mob was born out of that excitement.

Two and half years later I am sorry to announce that I will no longer be blogging here at Art of Mob. My personal life is demanding more of me than it has in the past and I have made the difficult decision to close things down at Art of Mob.

I still have a few exciting interviews in the works and will be posting them in the next few weeks - I will also be posting the results of the final Instagram Challenge - Fave5 on December 28th.

I hope to stay in contact with all of the friends I have made on Instagram and will continue to post my work there (@gericentonze).

Art of Mob will remain online as a resource and hopefully a source of inspiration for those just beginning this journey.

This has been a wonderful experience. I have met so many fabulous artists and had the opportunity to interview many of them. Click the image below to find links to all of the interviews.





I also had a chance to meet a few of my fellow photographers in person and perhaps the highlight was meeting the amazing Koci Hernandez. He is as nice as he is talented.

 Koci and Me!
I've been inspired and moved by the painterly artwork submitted to the Mob Paint Flickr Group...


...and always look forward to seeing the various scenes from around the globe in our Mob Street Flickr Group.


The support of app developers has allowed me to have some fun giveaways and share the apps that these creative folks have made! Without them, we wouldn't be able to do what we do.

I also thank the companies and individuals who supplied me with their products to review or giveaway. I appreciate your ingenuity and generosity.

Thank you to my fellow bloggers who have always supported me and given me helpful tips! You can see the list of the sites I recommend on the sidebar to the right.

One of my favorite tasks was finding images for The Whole Story series. It was interesting and sometimes surprising to learn the story behind the image. You can check out the series by clicking on the photo below.

If you haven't had a chance to visit the Tutorials section, I hope you will set aside some time to do so. I have posted a few tutorials and also have had some guest tutorials contributed as well.

This year couldn't have ended on a higher note when Daniel Berman asked me to participate as Juror in the 2014 Mobile Photography Awards. I am looking forward to that experience and viewing the works submitted. 


Thank YOU all - I cherish the friendships I have made and appreciate the support of each and every one of you who left a comment, viewed the blog or contributed in some way.

A special thank you to my husband, Paul who put up with all the time Art of Mob took away from "us". You have always been there for me!
