[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 8.

Pink nails and dinner in "Sierra".

One of my favorite Instagram pages:

Enjoy.

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 7.

One of the things that's always irked me about Instagram is how awfully unappetizing it's filters make food look. For instance, here's my post for today (using the "X-Pro II" filter):

Here's the original image:

And again, the modified one:

And yet, food pictures seem to be the most popular on Instagram.

By the way, those dumplings were delish!

I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from mrpimpgoodgame, on the downside to social media fame (this post cracked me up all afternoon):

'Night.

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 6.

Nothing new at all today. There was really nothing for me to snap and post, so I just browsed public posts on Instagram. Am I already getting bored with Instagram?

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 5- rain, rain, go away 2.

Still very dark and yucky outside, so there were no opportunities to take any great outdoor shots. 

Nothing special happened today either, so all I had to offer the Instagram world was a photo (with the "Valencia" filter) of my Kokeshi clown that I got at a thrift shop some time ago.

Anyway, TGIF! Let's see what I capture tomorrow.

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 4 - rain, rain, go away.

Hello blogosphere!

Only one post on Instagram today, using the "Hudson" filter.

Remember those beautiful clouds I posted a picture of yesterday? Well, the started spewing wonderful thunderstorm goodness last night and continued for most of the day today. There seems to be no end to the rain in sight, so I'll either have to come up with creative drying methods or lug my laundry to the nearest laundromat (which is about 20 minutes away).

In other Instagram news, mrpimpgoodgame is going to start making T-shirts?

I wonder what they'll look like.

And with that, I bid you good night.

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 3 - Happy Hump Day!

Two posts on Instagram today, both using the "Mayfair" filter. Woohoo!

First, my breakfast.

Then, on my way home from work, I noticed some low-hanging clouds. 

I've got a few "likes" on a couple of my pictures so far, but that pales significantly next to the best thing that happened to me online today.

Thanks to Buzzfeed, I discovered and immediately started following @mrpimpgoodgame.

Don't let the similarities among his photos fool you. The captions on his photos vary and include such gems as, "You are not going to stash some dead presidents from a pimp lol."

I'll leave you with that and go back to reading while waiting for this thunderstorm to blow over.

"Maybe sharknados are coming, dude."

[Instagram] in 30 days. Day 2 - a case of the Tuesdays.

Nothing much to report today. I "took" two photos with Instagram on my way to and from work.

1. Location: on a bus about 20 minutes away from Kawagoe Station. 

Filter: "Rise"

Subject: a man who decided that he wanted to lie down on the backseat so badly that it didn't matter that someone else was there.

2. Location: on a bus heading back to Kawagoe Station (about ten minutes away). 

Filter: "Lo-fi"

Subject: beautiful clouds that could have only been done justice by using black and white film with a red filter.

It is pretty easy to use, so I do get the appeal as far as user-friendliness is concerned. My experience so far has been a bit quiet, though. Maybe I need more friends?

Who knows what I'll capture tomorrow? It's going to be a hot Day 3 (30 degrees!).
