Once the hook was in with Instagram’s filters in 2010, the true value of the network become immediately apparent to anyone willing to look: Instagram turned everyone into a photographer. The filters gave people like me courage to make that jump. It didn’t matter if our pictures were shitty and made only slightly less shitty by the filters. All that mattered was we were all now taking pictures. A lot of them. And we became interested in other peoples’ pictures. And that mattered because for the first time, there was a social network that could communicate across all languages. Instagram became a visual language at scale.
Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPwaterdrops
Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes & hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a photo announcing the weekend’s project every Friday.
This weekend’s tag was #WHPwaterdrops, which asked participants to capture photographs of water drops. Every Monday we feature some of our favorite submissions from the project, but be sure to check out the rest here.
