Photo a Day May

By popular request (aka 1 person named Laura), I am showing off my Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day May pictures in case you don't follow me on Instagram.  Please keep in mind the following when viewing my pictures.

I have no creative skills
I took all these on my iPhone 4 and not an iPhone 4S with its fancier camera
I used a combination of Camera+ and Instagram to edit the pictures

Here is a Flash slideshow version of my photos for all those people not viewing on an iPhone:


Here is a link to the album for those people viewing on an iPhone:
May 2012 Photo A Day Challenge

Are you up for trying the June challenge?  I think I am taking the month of.

Why Instagram?

I am growing more and more addicted to Instagram.  For those who are not in the cool phone world, Instagram is an application for phones that applies filters to pictures you take on your phone to give them different looks and publishes them in a live feed format.  I like Instagram, not for the filters, but for the live feed.  Maybe I am tired of sharing with the masses on facebook and enjoy the smaller audience on Instagram.  I am not really sure why I enjoy it so much right now.

I also like Instagram for the ability to search by tags.  For example, you can view everyone's submissions for the Fat Mum Slim May photo a day challenge by searching for tag #photoadayMay.   

Think of Instagram as facebook status updates but with pictures and tags for searching.  I love to see other people's "day in the life of" photos.  You can follow businesses.  You can follow friends.  You can follow bloggers that don't know you exist. 

My Instagram name is funfiveminutesago if you would like to follow me.

Don't have a cool phone?  There is a website viewer called WebStagram that allows you to see Instagram feeds.  Check out the feed for my pictures here. You can also play with the hash tag searching.

I plan to do her May Photo a Day Challenge too, but no worries...I will not bore you with the pictures.  I really enjoyed the activity.  I have something to look forward to every day and it makes me more alert of my surroundings.  I also have to use the very tiny creative part of my brain.
