Social media vs Reality - The Insta Lie

Insta Lie (verb): an intentionally false representation of real life on social media. Examples include:

1.) Tagging an edited and made-up selfie with #IWokeUpLikeThis;
2.) Taking a million selfies before deciding on just one to post as #Effortless 😕;
3.) Going all the way to Starbucks, buying a coffee and opening up your Macbook - taking a photo of your #WorkSpace, closing your Macbook and then going back home;
4.) Using filters to edit your travel photos - making them literally look #Unreal.

KOO KOO - illustrator

My daughter showed me this illustrator on Instagram: KOO KOO. And he's very good!

The reason she showed me was because he did an illustration of her, because it was his birthday. He picked 10 followers and she was one of them. Nomally she never tells me anything only when she's very sad, furious or happy about something. I have a very healthy daughter.

... And What Do You Think

Probably you've heard about the photo Madonna posted on Instagram. The photo of her 13y old son Rocco Ritchie (and friends) holding a bottle of booze. I had to smile reading somewhere that Rocco had said that Madonna was a very strict mother. Girls just wanna have fun ... oops, that was someone else.
I don't know. I can imagine it was just fun, Rocco isn't drinking. But on the other hand it's her public Instagram profile. Celebrity ... giving a good example ... et cetera ... et cetera.

The party has just begun!

The New Press Photography

Good example of going forward and thinking out of the box using new 'technology'.

Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder has just been awarded TIME's Instagram Photographer of the year 2013 award for his photographs of North Korea. Speaking to WIRED, he said:

"In a country known for its censorship, I'm now uploading photos to Instagram from the streets of North Korea like I would anywhere else in the world. Through social media, I'm trying to piece together a picture of this country for the outside world … No one puts their hand in front of my camera, and no one tells me not to shoot things. There's no review process. They don’t look at my pictures at all before I send them on the Associated Press wire or my Instagram account. Facebook even asks me to tag my "friends" Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung when I upload my photos."

Instagram Is.

Nice documentary about Instagram. Instagram is. It's creativity. It's about the community.

"In a culture immersed in technology, Instagram is reviving adventure. face to face community and real relationships. How can something so digital actually get people out from behind their devices into the analog world?"

Projecteo

What a cool project on Kickstarter. I want!

"Projecteo is a tiny Instagram projector. It uses wheels of 35mm slide film you make online and each one holds nine photos. Whether they're of your best friends, that holiday last summer or good old pictures of cats, just pop them into Projecteo, focus by twisting the lens barrel and sit back to enjoy your slideshow."
