Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
The End is Near.
Randy, I've been hearing this for the last 50yrs. It has got to be true.
*First cell phone in 2006 (flipper)....haven't graduate to anything else.
*First computah in 2000....to use AutoCAD to redesign da house.
Hmmm, anything else is on-need basis.....maybe I'm just too practical.

Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
I tried to keep a landline, but it was dead often, lost it entirely around 2008.
Had to sell my stick shift cars when my ankles failed. I can shift without a clutch, once drove 1000 miles to Texas like that. Ankles fixed now!
Wasted lot's of money on everything digital. All scrap quickly.
Didn't have a car for 5 years, then I left the city. Here I need one, however eagerly awaiting the robot helpers.
I do prefer my handsaws, far less dust.
Had to switch to distilled water as the water is bad everywhere.
Still waiting for Godot.
Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
No. I really have a dislike for social media.
I was on Facebook with over 2k friends a couple of years ago. Dumped it.
Came back on FB after my cousins cried they wanted me back in their daily life.
I think I have less than 25 friends there, that I can handle, but no more.
Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
I grew tired and deleted my Instagram account couple of years ago but created a new one some time later. I just haven't been very active user since. Anyhow I'm now building a 8x10 camera and chose to document the build on Instagram. I might add some other content too.

Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
I do..grudgingly and little used
this is my second one.. I got kicked off IG the first day with my first
I been a little more careful with the new account though and use it to see what some friends are up to.. I rarely post anything there though
it just seems like a full time job for it to be worth more than a bucket of spit
Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
I'm on IG from my Instant Film days. If I posted four photos of my camera I got a free pack of Instax film (10 shots). Trading advertising for MiNT Camera for free film for me. Led me down a delightful trail of interviewing strangers on the street: @TouchingMyHeart
The bad is having your mind take in a lot of images that aren't special. The good can be being turned onto images/concepts of real value you wouldn't have otherwise seen. For me, it takes discipline to gather in the good with least bad.
My new, LF account is @BringForthPhotography

Something about Copyright violations on IG
Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
If one is not registered on Instagram, it's not possible to view more than a handful of pictures before being blocked. So posting material on Instagram and nowhere else is a great way to annoy those who don't want to register with a social media company.

I hear where you are coming from, but it's also trivial to register a free email with a fake name and then make an account, with very little to connect you to it (use a VPN if you are so inclined to hide even from your ISP). Added benefit is following a variety of photographers you may be interested in keeping up with, searching hashtags to virtually "scout" locations, etc.
Of course one could also rage against posting/viewing any photograph online because it's "just not the same as a silver print held in your hand!"
Re: Anyone else here on Instagram?
Nope. If someone really wants me to see their work, they can extend the courtesy of posting it in a way that allows me to do so without hassle. If not, so be it; there's more than enough rewarding material elsewhere to fill multiple lifetimes of web browsing.
