Like knuckle tattoos, L O V E - H A T E Instagram is the most evil application for iPhones available. Really. And yet I understand it. It's like shopping at The GAP, though you may not be on the cutting edge of fashion or even have any understanding of style, there's a good chance you'll come out looking alright. Instagram makes everyone an artsy photographer. It will make your snapshots of drunken shenanigans look monumental, it will make your day at the beach tabloid worthy, it will replace a million snapshots and photographs worth of learning techniques and equipment. And I wouldn't begrudge any budding photographer, mom, student, Joe on the street, a collection of beautiful photographs documenting their lives/activities. But it still feels like cheating. So I tried cheating.
