Stop Instagramming Everything

I honestly am so pissed off about this crap - every time I go to a nice restaurant or even a freaking McDonalds, everyone is taking flash photos of their food. This happens a lot with my Asian friends who tend to bring thousand dollar cameras and are apparently documenting their extensive palate for the world to see.

Wtf guys, have some respect for other diners. There's nothing worse than having your food come and then being blinded by a fireworks show of Asians taking pictures of Asians taking pictures of Asians taking pictures of their food (or whatever iteration of that they're on).

Hashtagging everything is ridiculous too - some girl takes a pic of themselves at the gym post workout, next thing you know there's a #winning hashtag along with every other entry it links to on the Thesaurus website.

Look, we know you need to show everyone everything you eat/do to prove you're unique and are "living the good life", but just realize this - you're proving your individuality by using a site that millions of other people use as well to "express themselves".

/end

P.S. Anyone who uses #nofilter should be banned from using a camera/cameraphone.

Also, anyone who sits and talks next to the homeless/backpackers on the street (aka 99% hipsters) needs to be dynamic punched by a Machamp w/ No Guard ability.

I won't usually do that, but if it's the best (or damn close to the best) of a certain dish I've had, I'll take a picture of it. Facebook though, not Instagram. I'm old school dawwwg

Not saying that to ban instagramming altogether - just advocating moderation.

As I like to say, "Instagram does not make you a photographer". Learn what an f/stop is and shutter speed before you talk.
