Instagram Abuse — Stop Giving Food Photography a Bad Name
"I was at the grocery store buying some Flaming Hot Cheetos and aloe vera juice. There was a girl in front of me at check-out who was buying a box of dried apricot halves, and I think you know where this is going. She couldn’t even wait until the cashier gave her the receipt before she excitedly snapped a shot of her little box of apricots and proceeded to post it on Instagram. Immediately, I thought to myself, ‘Who in their right mind cares that this girl just bought a box of freakin’ dried apricots?’" - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Now we have instagram snobs? - Blake
I don't know if I'm an instagram snob but as someone who sometimes does food photography and is an enthusiastic food dude, it really doesn't do much for the appearance of the subject. But maybe that's just me. I don't know. - Derrick
People are excited about silly little things and just want to share that with thier friends. I say, let them have their little happy moments, they're not trying to change the world. - Blake
Okay. I mean, I'm not losing sleep over it, but I hate crappy food photography. Sharing with friends is fine, that's cool. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I wouldn't want a cookbook full of instagramed images of food. - Derrick
Cookbook full of instagramed images of food you say.... hmmm.... - Blake

Surely it would be an Instaounce cookbook in the USA?... - Pete #TeamMonique

Crappy pictures of food is what Twitpic is for. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Hmmm. Steve. Are you angling for a job? - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
WAIT. Forget the book. Let's make it an app. Somehow combine it with Urban Spoon--match the splat with a restaurant? Brainstorming here... I AM IN UR THREAD, JACKING IT, DERRICK. wait...uh - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
I like it. Make it a combo game/Instragram tutorial. - Steele Lawman
Run with it people. Just give me, what? 25% of whatever you make? - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
And this is when I decided to abandon this thread. - Derrick
Aw. I'll give you a 10% cut of the app. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
