I'm blown away by the amount of creativity out there. (I'm also blown away by the number of completely un-creative feeds that are just hundreds of nearly-identical selfies, one after another.)

For someone who is a glutton for visual/photographic imagery, Instagram is frickin' amazing.

Post your handle. I will browse and double tap the day away. And if you're interested, I'm @haseebophoto

Really, I am glad you like it.  The image quality sucks, I hate the square format.  smile

2048 x 2048 -- good enough to let people see the work! The square format generally bugs me; I use SquareReady to square crop without losing my original aspect ratio, but more recently I've been enjoying the square format for more and more of my images.

Just curious, have you tried Tumblr?  I like it much better than IG.  There is no restriction on contents.  I like freedom.

There's already about 45 IG posts and usually all but the main one get locked.

That said, I live for IG.

I don't post that much stuff tho and I'm not sure what's the point of Instagram, the only message I've ever received there was from my ex saying: ''damn mama u look gud, call me''.

I actually don't like any of them apart of facebook. I know it's useful to have Insta, Twitter and all that but it's time consuming and not even entertaining for me.
