At Least For Me...

This Instagram Update Needs To Happen

This idea for an Instagram update really only applies to certain people: those that take the time to create content for their profile, and people who take beautiful pictures, use relatively good cameras, and want to get their pictures noticed by others.

It's best for people like me: someone who has a photography Instagram, but doesn't focus on one subject.

I take pride in the fact that I'm not a photographer that doesn't just do portraits, or landscapes, or city architecture. I do a little bit of everything. Call me a life photographer. I shoot as I go. So when I upload my pictures to Instagram, they tend to be a bit out of order. Next to my picture of a flower, is a picture of guitarist, which is next to a picture of a light house, and above that is a picture of football players. It's just all over the place. And while I'm completely fine with that, I see other profiles of successful photography Instagram profiles that are so focused on one subject, so it looks VERY aesthetically pleasing.

Here is an example of what I mean:



If you want to talk about specific focuses, this guy is a 'polar expedition photographer'.

But do you see how nice this looks?! Not just the high quality of the photos, but seeing all of those photos together makes it so pleasing to the eye.

So this is what I suggest: that I have the ability to move around my photos on my profile at my leisure. That I can put all my concert photos next to each other, regardless of the dates that I took them. Maybe Instagram can put a notification at the top of my profile, giving a disclaimer that 'this profile is not in chronological order'. I want all my nature photos together, and all my portraits together too. I just want a little bit of organization, post-upload. To resolve this problem, most people upload three photos at a time from the same photoshoot. So that way their profile looks coherent and easy to follow. Plus, since Instagram feeds are now in a non-chronological order, does it even really matter? Isn't this a natural update to come next?

I realize this request is so arbitrary, and who cares?! But I don't know, I just think this would be a cool thing for Instagram to produce.

Here is a look at my photography Instagram to show you what I mean:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
