Instagram is an free app a new friend from school introduced me to while I was on surgery. The idea behind it is supposed to be a way to make status updates via photos, but most people seem to use it more to try to showcase fun and good photography. I caught on to this quickly, and was interested in the challenge of coming up with a routine influx of good photos to upload. You know how good your doing by how many likes each photo gets and how many people follow you. I have not put a lot of effort into getting followers, but I pick new ones up every few days.
I thought I'd share my 5 "best" photos (via number of likes) and my favorite users to follow. I have some rules with my posts and likes...Iphone only (no PC/laptop programs), no filter overloads, and no underage girls who want to feel pretty...

| #3 sunset at fall cadaver ball, bowman field. cheated a bit with a filter, but the likers don't mind I guess... 12 likes |

| #4 instagood got me a lot of these likes after it liked me. Series of photos I took with Sai and AJ on a walk around our neighborhood. Too many cute ones to choose from so had to picstitch it. 11 likes |

| #5 yes, my pumpkin was the best one I saw under the #pumpkin tag. spoookkyyyy pumpkin gets 10 likes. |
A lot of people have consistent themes with their photos...but I just go with whatever happens to seem like a good composition at any given time. Most of my photos are self portraits or of Sai. Sometimes I find it pretty unpredictable what people will be more likely to like anyway.
