“ You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
Ansel Adams
It seems every few months, our community is falling in love with a new social platform, and right now, its without a doubt Instagram. Are we surprised? Absolutely not. Instagram was made for creative, passionate people, it was made for you. Awesome.
Fun Facts
Everyday, in the US, 7.3M people are jumping on Instagram to share their “day in the life” moments. That’s more than who access Twitter everyday via mobile. Wow.
Normal is the most popular filter, at 45% of all photos shared, which seems so funny to us, why would you use Instagram if you are not going to put a super cool filter on your pics? Hmmm. Kelvin is the least popular film, kinda makes sense as its the last option. Poor Kelvin.
