“ This is the final stage of a revolution, the democratization of what used to be professional photography, and its hippest, most boring propagandists use Hipstamatic and Instagram. Never before have we so rampantly exercised the ability to capture the way the world really looks and then so gorgeously disfigured it.”
I’ve grown to somewhat enjoy Instagram after initially dismissing it. However: I cannot understand why journalists, reporters, and others intending to deliver events with accuracy warp their photos with filters. Doing so seems to admit that reportage is an act done with stylistic flair and interpretation, which it is. But to consciously deny your audience a clear image of what occurs is an odd choice.
