I have very recently come across the work of Eric Mencher, and artist who has caused me to revisit and evaluate work.
Eric is an award-winning photographer, working previously for the Philadelphia Inquirer as a photojournalist, now concentrating on his love of street photography.
Eric has s fabulous eye for an image, seeing his work has inspired me to revisit some of my iPhone images and view in a new light.
My website blog entry on Eric can be found following. I recommend all check out his website and the excellent interview on 'The Photographic Eye' YouTube channel.

Perhaps you have discovered new photographers/painters that have inspired you - if so please feel free to share with the community.
Great article, Alan! Thanks for posting it. I recently found out about Vivien Maier. Her images are wonderful, and her story is intriguing - so close to being left undiscovered ... https://www.vivianmaier.com/
Are the images in this post yours revisited or Eric's?
Thanks Jennifer. Vivien’s story is definitely intriguing, thanks for sharing the link so that others can enjoy.
Images posted are indeed my own, some I’ve had around for years and never been quite happy with. I do feel that viewing the work of others can allow you to see your own in a new light.
BTW - as with Eric all posted images were shot on an iPhone.
Wow! Your images here are really wonderful. I enjoyed them very much especially knowing that they are all from your iPhone. 1,2, and 3 tell wonderful stories.4 is just lovely, and 5 is intriguing. I can think of my own story or song, but what are they in reality?
Thanks Jen, as always your words are filled with kindness.
The last image is actually a sculpture on display at the SCAD art museum in Savannah.

Intersting work
Thanks for posting Vijay. It's great to revisit Vivian's work.
I'm really enjoying her self-portraits and can see her influence on contemporary photographers.
Thank you for the hint! Eric shows impressive photographs - different form Instagram-style!
