#doitforthegram

True life, I am addicted to Instagram. Like seriously addicted to it. I can not go a day without posting something, because well let's face it, it's a fun way to spend the time. I even bought apps to enhance my photo-making experience. Let's take a look about how Instagram has impacted my day to day life.
"Let's take pictures of food before we eat it!"Before I got an Instagram, I would have thought that taking pictures of my plate was silly. It still is, but I do it anyways. And I get somewhat good amount of likes on my lattes, and other baked goods. It's obnoxious, yet I really don't care.
Hot chocolate from a  while ago.
I baked cookies once and it was lovely. 


"But first, selfie." Ah, yes selfies. Who doesn't take them? It has kind of taken over, has it not? Whenever you get a new hairstyle, or feel pretty, what do you do? Take a selfie! Or, is your friend back in town? You take a selfie! Selfies are something that you do alone, or with a friend. However, it's not going away for a long time.
Gabriel and I! 

I sometimes take selfies by myself.
Griffin and I at the beach! 
Elisia and I at a sporting event.




"Nature photos to make me look artistic!"Who hasn't taken a walk around a pretty neighborhood, or gone to the beach without taking a picture of something? I haven't. #sorrynotsorry
On a photoshoot with Verenized back in May.

"#throwbackthursday" Remember Prom? Or when you had blond hair? Or that time that you graduated high school, that was like three years ago. Sometimes, you take awesome pictures and they just need to be bought to the surface..on Thursdays nonetheless.
Griffin and I were the best at prom. 


Oh yeah, I also graduated high school. 


I also had a graduation party. This is Gabriel and Griffin playing with my point and shoot camera.
"Showing off something that I bought because I'm obnoxious and I want to show stuff off" Whenever I buy something new, whether it's a book or a bracelet, it ends up on Instagram. Cause, I want to show off the pretty things that I shouldn't be buying because I should actually save my paycheck for things like getting a car. However, I saw this pretty bracelet, so therefore I shall buy it and share with you all so you can be jealous of the things that I buy.
CDs are better than MP3 because then you can post them on Insta.
Juicy was once an outlet before going to Kohls.
Can't live with Instagram, can't live with out it. However, if you have one you should follow me so therefore you can see those photos..do you do it for the gram?

Life With Filters.

Who here has an Instagram? For those of you who don't know what Instagram is, either because you live under a rock or just because it's not your thing, Instagram is a social media site or app that you basically edit pictures with a bunch of filters that in a second can change your photo from being blah, to being the best damn thing on the planet.
Then I began to think. Is this what we've come to? Making a false image based on filters, creating a sense of ourselves that perhaps is unreal. We alter the images until they have reached some degree of perfection. Whether it may be with the many filters on the Instagram, or erasing the blemishes on your skin with Picnik or Photoshop, we all create the false imagery of being someone that we are not. Due to this, we are living a life that strives to only be perfect. This is the life with filters.
Living a life with filters can be equal to many things. One is that we can take the average everyday object and make it more beautiful. Take that cup of coffee that you took a picture of this morning. (Come on, we all do it, it's okay to admit it) Another is that we are accustomed to having everything be perfect that often be forget that we as humans tend to be imperfect. Eventually, all we will strive is perfection without realizing that as humans there are cracks in our souls, the scars the mark up our skin. Putting a filter over it will cause us to  work even harder to become people with less scratched up surfaces. Sometimes, the scratches are beautiful to see.
Maybe if we lift these filters from our photographs we can learn to accept the beauty that lies underneath. That is the real beauty, the natural kind. Not the superficial kind. The kind that filters try to hide.
Let's try to life these filters to see what we uncover.
