Silly World instagrama

Filtered through the eyes of the world people are instagrama Clive Martin, chief editor of the American edition Vice.com- Do you think some of the latest inventions of mankind never ceases to reduce the whole world crazy? Properly built into a mobile phone camera. Advertising by means of a smiling housewives who shoot on the phone of their children, snowboarding, and then spread these fotochki in twitter, repeatedly told us that life is, and if we do not make photos of the most banal of surrounding things, it's all in vain sink into oblivion. And we will never remember how he looked like a garbage bag that neighbors left on the sidelines of a good Sunday morning. This obsession has found its expression in Awesome something called instagram.

For those who do not know - as I suspect that you are engaged is really useful things - instagram - a popular application and social network through which people with no taste can throw a ton of pictures of their daily lives, giving them a bohemian gloss. No, of course, we believe that the aim of the creators of the application was to enable everyone to feel good photographer, but in fact it turned into a huge archive fotochek food (from sandwiches and coffee to the roasted turkeys), feet in the sand on the beach, nails, chih- the reflection in the mirror in the toilets around the world and stuff with silly captions.





Average Photo of cans of pickles no surprise, but the filters instagrama world looks different, does not it? First of all, this effect Windows Moviemaker appears on each photo that you upload here, and makes them look cheap and ugly. They look like a safe place, a suit made of polyester and, perhaps, abandoned furniture store.

Of course, one can understand the desire to capture important, romantic or funny moment for the future of nostalgia, but in fact, which of these photos will be the test of time? We have in our own lives become aimless zhmuschimi button tourists. Most of the images never leave the memory card on which they are stored, and then will be washed away by new waves of disposable photos breakfast.





























Underlying all this commotion instagramom to have some kind of trick. The value of the photos is that they somehow show the truth, what would you miss the naked eye. At least, they give interested distorted view of reality. Instagram, on the other hand, offers a lie. This filtered version of the real world, which is fine if you are Tim Burton, but instagram believes that this is the beginning of Journalism streets.

Let's think, really, anyone who sees a riot, terrorist attack or self-immolation, will spend time thinking about filters "Valencia" and "Nashville" is better suited in addition to a burning building? No. World instagrama inhabit are not photojournalists, and people with an excess of time and lack of originality.
