TIME: Instagram Photographers to Follow in All 50 States

Social media plays a big role in the communication of just about anything in this generation. Instagram is a very popular social networking site. For those of you who don't know what Instagram is, it is "an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing, and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr. (Wikipedia)."

I recently came across this TIME article titled Instagram Photographers to Follow in All 50 States. It is an interactive map of the United States. When you hover over a state, it gives you the Instagram name of the photographer from that state; if you scroll down past the map, the same photographers are listed alphabetically by state with a description of what they photograph.

I highly encourage you to check out this article, even if you do not have an Instagram. (Their teaser images are enough to make you want to see more!)

Project Announcement

I'm very excited to announce that for the duration of these next sixteen (16) weeks, I will be working on compiling family recipes into a hard cover cookbook. I will be photographing each dish as a finished project to go along side the recipe. I believe that this will be a very enjoyable project to work on, as well as challenging. I do not claim to be a food photographer, so the fact that I will be photographing food is new. That is all I have right now as it is in the early stages of development. I will keep you all posted, and thank you for reading every week. You guys are the best!
