A-Rod on Instagram

On Sunday, the New York Times published a photograph of New York Yankee Player Alex Rodriguez on their front page. The big deal? The photo was taken through an iPhone and was edited and posted through Instagram. The use of the photograph has sparked a lot of controversy and many critics are arguing that apps like Instagram are threatening to change the face of traditional photography. On the contrary, I think Instagram is helping discover new talent and allowing people to connect through a visual medium.
Instagram is a social media app that allows you to share your world through photographs. It has helped give new definition to the blogosphere and contributes to the global conversation through images. It not only allows individuals to instantaneously share what they are seeing, experiencing, or eating, but also allows them to give their perspective a little flair. You can edit the images by using a filter or fixing minor imperfections.
Instagram is the place to find the first photographs on breaking news stories, popular events, and a birds eye view of the world. Want to know what looks are coming down the runway during Fashion Week? How about the energy level Coachella? Instagram allows users to connect on a whole new level.
