Instagram Resources

Most of us have memories of using the old Polaroid 'instant' cameras. You snap a picture, it slides out of the camera, and you wait (usually shaking it to make it appear sooner) until the image appears. Your picture would come out a little dark and saturated, but they looked good and it was fun to take them.

Today we have digital cameras and the 'cloud' so our images are 'instant' in a different way. Snap a photo on your camera phone and it 'pushes' over to your desktop, laptop, and iPad. But as technology improves and more devices have newer features, we still hold to some of the old ways of life.

That's where Instagram comes from, applying the 'old style' filters to new digital photographs, then share them with #hashtags through social networks. For resources on using Instagram and its features, use these links:
