Obsession…

So what is my latest obsession?  It is the Instagram app on my iPhone

This is surprising in part because I don’t Twitter, rarely use Facebook, and I am a very infrequent Flickr participant.  In spite of this, since I joined the IG photo sharing community I have spent more time taking and processing photos and checking the site feed on my iphone than I have with my camera and computer it seems.  It is a fun, creative community and I am constantly impressed with and inspired by the photos I see there.  Comments are shared and there are many different languages seen…The photos can take you around the world in one sitting.  Breakfast in Germany or Cyprus in one photo and dinner in California at the next.  I just find it fascinating.

I am ready for a phone upgrade....maybe I should bite the bullet and get an iphone :)

I'm with Violetski. I've been thinking about it too, the iPhone, I mean. This app is wonderful, and you just never know when something is going to rock your boat. I avoid Facebook now, I almost can't bear to go in there. I'm sure it's because of the blog and all. But I can totally see how this image app would draw you in. Lots and lots of fun capturing your life, and observing others around the world.

I am so deep in my addiction with instagram I don't even know how to ramp down. I'm so happy to have a place on your blogroll - thank you and keep feeding my addiction with your great IG shots!

I do love Instagram as well, but I feel like I have a lot to learn.

Some people get these soft romantic looking shots and I can't figure out how to do that. And I think some people must take 100 shots a day! And all of them are fabulous! Instagram could easily fill in for the regular camera high I get ; )
