So you’re on the Instagram bandwagon. Along with my mom and your grandmother. What used to be the domain of the artsy photographer has now become a channel full of poorly lit shots of your aunt’s zucchini bread. This tragedy has to end. (snark alert, if you are sensitive, stop reading)
If you want to do it all wrong-here’s how:
Instagram EVERYTHING you eat. Really, we are all dying to see every course of your meal. Don’t stop there though, go ahead and give us a shot of the bill too. We were hoping you’d include us in your Applebee’s excursion. Also, make sure your shots are poorly lit so the food looks disgusting.
Post nothing but selfies. If you are in a bikini even better. Nothing makes me want to visit a resort like seeing 20 pictures of you in a bikini.
Please, we want to see a photo of your child doing everything. Watching TV? Fascinating, so few children do that, it’s great you captured it for us. OMG, they are on a swing? You shot it with the sun behind them so they are just a blurry blob? Post it, it’s great. Really.
Show us your feet, every day, every where. They’re headed to WalMart? In crocs? YES. Show us.
By all means make sure you push every photo you put on Instagram to every other social media channel. Nothing makes us happier than seeing that pic of the PB&J your toddler made THEIR VERY OWN SELVES on Instagram, Twitter AND Facebook. Once could never be enough.
Don’t bother commenting on anyone’s photos or encouraging really talented photographers even if you don’t know them. Isn’t this just a medium to share your bikini body, toddler mud pies and comped hotel rooms?
