Hey everyone!
I am writing this post because a. I don't know what else to do, b. I think its great to think about this more and c. I try to set it in stone here (doesn't work too often). So what am I talking about? Using Instagram filters of course..
While scrolling through YouTube seeing what video to watch next I came across
a video called Filters by The Halfway Point (a blogger I love!), it was a spoken word poem about social media and living in real life, you have to check it out. It really reminded me of the
spoken word poem called Look Up, which I had to look at again.
Now I know this is not what they suggested but it's a small step in the right direction, when I post photos to Instagram I'm not going to edit it (other than crop) to make it look better, I'm going to leave it as is.
When people post photos on Instagram, they chose the best parts to photograph so already its not real, then they add filters to make it look 'better' but what they actually do is make it look less real.
Unlike other challenges I have tried, I don't actually have to do anything. Like seriously it's easier and quicker to post photos now I don't edit them, I have actually been posting more frequently too and it doesn't even feel like it!
So I challenge you to post unedited photos to see how much easier it is. It's actually kind of freeing, even though I hardly edited my photos before!
Have a good day and don't forget to check out my Instagram
