Since I started using Instagram on the iPhone and sending pictures via that to my Tumblr and Facebook I have noticed a steep decline in my desire to write blog posts. It feels like the job has already been done by the picture. Is there less to write about than there was a few months ago or is the instant and visual nature of the technology just making me lazy. I think it’s the latter. Thought and behaviour patterns fitting into the easiest route that the technology has to offer, like water running down a hillside.
Anyway, perhaps this post will jolt me out of my new habit, which, I must admit, I am not too happy about. It feels like this way of cataloguing is stripping my life of some of its poetic magic.
Here are some of those instant pictures, out of context and out of time, without words, good or bad, in case you missed them.
