While I have mixed bi-pollar feelings about social media, networking, and offering up absurd information about yourself to anyone who wants to read it, I do admit to really liking intsagram.
Marcello is someone who gets it too.
In his blog he said. .
2012 was the year of Instagram. Was it because they were bought by Facebook for a billion dollars? Nah... It was the year is Instagram because there was no other app I enjoyed using than the one they created. And I'm not alone on this one. Over the past year I've seen a good percentage of my Facebook friends fall in love with the app and a majority of my friends have developed an artistic eye because they're searching their surrounding to artistically represent what they were currently doing. My Instagram friends (and real ones) provided photos of sunsets, sunrises, concerts, quiet evenings, food, celebrity sightings, vacations, weddings, births, holidays, new boyfriends/girlfriends, breakups, heartache, airports, clouds from airplane windows, foreign lands, gifts. People used Instagram to announce births, deaths, engagements, marriages, work milestones, anniversaries. Anything of importance that could be photographed was Instagrammed.
Instagram allowed us to reach an audience without having to say a whole lot. It's just a picture and a caption. Some people post a photo multiple times a day. Some post a photo once or twice a week. Others, like myself, post a daily photo. I like to think it helps me remember what I did. A photo journal if you will.
I share is love, I love pictures, and while my pictures aren't on the level as Marcello with his amazing photography eye I wanted to share mine, but held off. Then after seeing Whintey share her instagrams of the year, I want to post mine, a month late.
