documenting everyday life

Louise uses the Instagram app on her mobile phone to record both random and significant moments.  She loves the 'real time' ability to capture and share her 'real time' everyday life and moments.

 

It is a funky and fun way of photographing her everyday life, and interaction with her environment. Louise now uses her Instagram photos in her everyday scrapbooking, [she is a die hard scrapbooker]and tends to use this form of creative expression over that of Art Journaling at the moment]. Instagram photos are also a favoured form of image capture for Art Journalers.

 

 

 

 

So what is Instagram?

Wikipedia definition; "Instagram is a free photo-sharing program and social network that was launched in October 2010. ...[It enables] ... users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it with other Instagram users they are connected to on the social network as well as on a variety of social networking services. ... A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras."

 

 

So with that in mind you can see that Louise has created 3 layouts that allow the photo and the journaling to tell the story!
