Ironic Instagrams

Before there was Instagram, we never had time to cultivate the desire to take pictures of food, our feet and our pets. Then came filters...

(For those of you unfamiliar with it (Mom),  Instagram is a social network which allows you to take and share square shaped pictures very easily. It also has different 'filter' or preset settings you can apply to boring photos to make them look better.)

For those of you who don't have an account, I hope you can get one.

I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, but Instagram I really like. I think it's useful for keeping in touch with what's going on with your extended circle of friends, and see their photography skills.

Each filter has a different name such as 'Hefe' 'Hudson' or 'Lofi.'

My favorite filter is Sutro. 

My most hated is Kelvin. 

My brother Daniel is a purist and prefers 'Normal' (no filter)

What's your favorite/most hated filter? Please comment if you like. :)

Here are a few from the "ironic instagrams' series.
