I never was a big instagram fan. Originally, it was because Instagram was only out on iOS. Then it got released on Android so I downloaded it, created an account, and tried it out. I didn’t actually take any pictures because filters don’t appeal to me and I already had a couple of photo taking apps on my phone. I also didn’t use it as a social network because I didn’t know or care of anyone to follow.
So I uninstalled it and let it be.
But then recently, I’ve been travelling without my SLR. My cellphone‘s camera is decent enough during day time that I value travelling light over having a better camera with me. I ended up taking a lot of photos – more than I want to post onto Facebook (it would start feeling like spam); so I started posting onto instagram. Of course, then my trip ended and I didn’t feel the urge to post any more photos. So strangely, I found a use for instagram – as a travel app!
