Instagram

I've been having mixed views with this application. There are pro's and cons to using it. One of which it's quick and easy to use, if you're quite a busy person and you haven't got any time on editing a picture if you so wished.   Instagram does it for you within a flash. But this also brings up another issue, do we really need applications like this? That are quick and easy to use? Because to me the efforts in which others actually put into their own time into editing a photo would pretty much, be looked as a time waster if things such as instagram are being put out there.

This also, raises another question. What makes a pro photographer? Is it by the equipment that he or she uses? Is it the different type of lenses in which is being used? I think we tend to lose focus on what actually were trying to show, through things we think we need but don't necessarily.

Personally I think that instagram is neither good nor bad, it's good in a sense it's efficient and you can have it everywhere you go in the comfort of your own phone or some type device that allows applications such as this. But on the other hand it does question if this is the way forward, then analogue photography might evidently might be lost.
