If you've been noticing a few more pictures on my blog lately it's because I'm addicted to a relatively new iPhone app called Instagram .
The concept is ridiculously easy : take a picture , upload the picture , share ... It's really fun to see what people can do with the iPhone camera and some cool filters. ( although i'm pretty sure that some pics are tweeked in Photoshop or Aperture , they're still great ). You can then share the pics you upload to other sites ( like Posterous or Facebook ) as you like.
Photography has always been a secret love of mine. When I was younger I dreamed being a newspaper photographer like Peter Parker ( minus the whole spider-man part - that i couldn't have cared less about ) or working for National Geographic.
Not that I can really take a good picture to save my life mind you. I'd love to take classes, learn how to really use a camera, but working afternoons and most of the evening and having days off that change every week makes that virtually impossible. Maybe when I retire, then I can have a second career !!
So - if you see pics pop up here and there on my blog it's because i'm trying to be the next Ansel Adams or Robert Mapplethorpe ( and failing spectacularly while having fun )
I've even gone and bought a new DSLR , an Olympus PEN e-pl1. So expect a lot more pictures of trees at sunset , or building corners , or blades of grass from me in the future !!
