Instagram + me = love

   I am completely obsessed with Instagram lately.  My relationship with Instagram started off slow, but the initial infatuation has blossomed into full on love.

I am serious, it has gotten so bad that my Nikon is gathering dust.
 I like the challenge of taking pictures with only my cellphone and attempting to make them compelling.  It forces you to wait for that decisive moment when the light is right & all the shots just happen on the fly.

But that is not why I am obsessed with instagram....
Here is the truth: I love getting a glimpse into everyone else's world. I love seeing the world through someone else's eyes. It personal and I find it fascinating what people choose to share.

Conclusion: Life is beautiful. Instagram helps you see more of it.

If any of you guys haven't tried it out, give it a shot. It's a free app that you can get on your iphone. You take pictures, crop, apply filters and share. And then you know you spread love and joy and such.

My handle is elizabeth_gilmore (I know, really thinking outside the box on this one). Hit me up!

Never heard of instragram until now. I am not very happy with the quality of the camera on my iphone (it is an old one, almost 3 years) and very much prefer using my lumix. I know what you mean about loving to share your pictures, and how you enjoy the glimpses into other people's worlds.
It is one reason why I like blogging!

These are great! Peach fuzzy like a drink of nectarine juice or a silky nightgown and slippers. Yum.

I love the second one. A cup of tea.....love.

No instagram for me. No iphone, and the phone I have is almost 3 years old. It took me forever to figure out how to use it (lol), so I don't see myself upgrading any time soon. :)

My name is Bonnie, and I am addicted to Instagram. That first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem, right?

at the moment i can't have an iphone, and i somewhat covet them. so i'm forced to be creative with the canon.

but i do really love the instantness of camera phone photography. the bulky cameras require to much forethought or clumsy rushing lol

i always dig spontaneity.

love the kettle btw

Came to you through HATTATT...
Your blog is lovely and you inspired me to give Instagram a try. Just downloaded it. Thank you for the inspiration.
Like you and your cat, I love to watch the world, people, animals, just everything.

Love your little drawing of yourself with flowers in your hair.

Come and say hello if you like...

I love Instagram too. It's brilliant and definitely makes me feel less lonely spending my days by myself in the studio.
