I opened an Instagram account. It was so funny because a great person I follow wrote about her leaving Instagram. LOl! Of course you already know her but if there is a minimal possibility that not then you can enjoy her Instagram journey here.
Said that I think I don’t have the risks to fall in the dark corner she mentions. I opened my Instagram as a way to share with my ex (while in relationship) and we had a funny time together. Instagram even has a place to chat xP Amanda wished me joy in my new “filtered” life. I don’t see wrong in it, after all cameras are not designed to photograph feelings so Instagram get me close to them: I am not used by it, I use it.
If you have seen my blog previously you have seen these photographs in a certain way, but at the same time this is the first time you are seeing them because I am using the Instagram filters to get closer to what I feel and see : )
I love the square composition, it makes in a certain way things bigger, more classic perhaps.
Instagram is a faster way to see photographs and follow people and interests. WordPress is something you need usually two or three minutes. More when the publication is longer. But Instagram is quite direct and quickly to appreciate.
The photographs even usually has not a title. So it’s up to you to give to them a personal meaning.
The filters to me are a starting point, not every image has a filter applied and the ones that yes actually I try to use them with the goal to get a natural rendering.
And that’s all. To me Instagram is quite funny. In a way to rediscover my photographs, it’s something fast but at the same time those squares seems to be calmer…

quelle belle série, francis! bravo!
Mille merci malyloup. n_n

A wonderful series, Francis. My favorite is the filament lamp 💡
Have a good start in the new week
Ulli
Thanks very much, Ulli. It’s one of my favorites as well. ^-^
Thanks for your wishes and great week ahead,
Francis.
😊
Fabulous… Never used instagram really but will take a look soon
So many accounts in the digital world tempting us. xD Thank you for your compliment, Meri. : )
Language of the land. Thank you Francis :)
Thank you, Syvlie. This time there aren’t captions so the words are in you. ^^
By the way, the sixteen photographs are taken in the highlands between 2200 and 3800 meters of altitude.
It is worth the climb :)
It’s funny because from your point of view yes, but I born there, so I am instead walking down to the sea level xD
But not every photograph in this post is about the land… So I was a bit confused about your initial comment.
I was commenting about the top photo :)
Well said Francis, I too am on IG , not often any more.. But while I worked it was very convenient for me to keep up with peeps , and to post and run:)!
I was highlighted in many groups. It was fun. But I get board easily and if you don’t like back people lose interest in your pics. As it should be, but it just got harder and harder to keep up.
Most of my contacts are on Flickr and fb too so, it really isn’t necessary for me to be on IG . I also used eye em as well, if your not on there, check it out. Bth , love the filters you’ve used on these shots.;)
Actually I am not interested in the interest of people. I think if somebody wants to see then is going to see. I have no love for “like-seekers” so I am pretty happy there, I don’t care so much about popularity, just to have a fun time. I used social networks just for my former girlfriend so I am not using them much anymore. Eye em, I am going to search it. : )
Thank you for your visit and compliments. ^_^
I’m feeling the pressure to join either Tumblr or Instagram. Best of luck!
Thank you, Kim. I am having fun in Instagram, mostly to review what I have done. Likes or an audience are not my priorities as I am not a professional photographer.
Tumblr or Instagram I know your kind person is going to shine.
Hey Francis .. Oh I love your work! The light is so good .. I’m with you, I’m not interested in gaining scores of followers, couldn’t care less. I just like sharing what I see! By the way I’m on Instagram Lol .. What is your address?
I know, what you see is so beautiful, I will be happy to see you there \n_n/
My user is ludverc.ordog and the adress http://www.instagram.com/ludverc.ordog/
Thanks for the visit Julie, I love/adore your work, in the farm and the photography realm. : )
Thank you for the mention 😉
It looks like you know how to use an Instagram the right now… My goodness! Your photographs are stunning! I love the lightbulb (image 4) this one really stands out for me! In fact, it makes me want to dust off my camera and …dare I say it… Open a Instagram account again! (No Amanda… Just no!)
You have a talent, my friend. Keep it up. :-)
You are quite creative, I know you would do well. ^-^
I think perhaps is the social part that ruined it for you. I use a mail account just for it so the program is not connecting me with “friends and family” so I reduce the social pressure.
Thanks for your kind words and the visit. ^w^
That was meant to say … The right *way
Damn auto correction. I’m typing on my phone – tiny buttons/clumsy thumbs! Gah!
Don’t worry, autocorrect seems to be a kind of butler troll, I love it xD as a bad kid It used to activate particularly with customers and serious stuff. x_x
Your photographs are stunning! The light bulb is my favorite, and of course the cat :). I have never been on Instagram, because of the lack of time. Don’t really miss it. Their filters are lovely though.
Square compositions are great, I love them too, but I never forget that they came from medium format cameras, and if I want them to look right, I have to make some adjustments, which not always works out well.
I’d love to have a bronica GS-1, although it’s not square but 6×7. Instagram don’t occupy much of my time, it’s so inmediate. Said that I am happy to see you in WordPress, so I can read more about the photographs and the story in them.
Thanks for the compliments, Inese. I am glad you liked them.
I always like your photographs, because of the stories in them :)
Thank you Inese, we share some points of view ^_^
Beautiful photos — I especially love the cat on the wall. Thanks for sharing :)
A mysterious cat for sure. Thanks for your visit, Rose. ^_^
Your photos are such beautiful snapshots of life. I love flicking through your site when I get time. Thank you. Jx
Thanks for your kindness, James. I wish you a relaxed time to come back to yourself with the energy of always. : )
Thank you! It’ll come around. I feel another rebirth coming on. Jx
Love them all… But was especially taken tonight by the cat and brick picture…
It’s in my home at 3800 meters above sea leve. Full of textures and light, and a few cats *x*
Eclectic and beautiful looking home…
Thank you!
