ortega said:it is just a genre of photography that is popular right now, you can tell from the images on instagram that there are some real talent there, most are crap, same with regular photography
Then one needs to look into himself or herself to seek definition of what is really "real photography"

Instagram is a tool to do a little editing and to upload to share. You can tell who the good ones and lousy ones are in just one glance

We seem to want design to give us the reassurance found in the recognizable. For those wishing to discover something new, however, all this unending nostalgia begins to provoke a feeling very close to nausea.
