I jumped on the Instagram bandwagon wayyyy late. Like, only 65 weeks ago, which, in the history of IG, is really late. Actually, I downloaded the app at least a year before my first post, but because I was an avid Facebooker, I deemed it unnecessary to use (insert *regret* icon).
It’s strange looking back on my first 9 pictures (below), and seeing how much the style/aesthetic of my IG has changed.
Pictures with filters, borders… general unpleasant aesthetic. Yuck.
And then 46 weeks ago, I DL-ed the magical app VSCO cam (pronounced “visco”), which allowed me to actually edit photos rather than mask them with ugly filters. So much better, no?!
Here it is now. I stopped confining myself to square photos, and now I post almost everything in a 4:5/5:4 size ratio with a white border. It makes me happy to scroll through my recent pictures because my feed is bright and happy. 🙂 Hooray for the little things in life…!
PS- The following makes me the opposite of happy.
To KaTina Wheeler who “MADE” Terrance Johnson’s IG……… gimme that handle, especially since he’s not using it. D: My suggestion is to change it to KATINAMADEIT. -___- I hate my underscores!
A. I joined IG 67 weeks ago and I thought I was the last person!
B. I’m so happy I was one of the first IG pix you posted even though it’s one of the bad photos.
C. You have no idea how much your rival’s IG cracks me up.
A. you probably are still the last person, and i am second to last!
B. our photo together is the best of the original 9. 🙂
C. you have no idea how much angst and anger i feel when i periodically search ‘tinamadeit’ to see if the handle is free… and it never is.
omg.
A. I AM THE LAST PERSON.
haha. this is awesome. katina.
