    Oddly after 10 years of digital photography Instagram has brought me full circle back to just taking photos on a regular basis wherever I might be without the preparation of having all my SLR photo gear, the intrusion of using it or the seriousness to feel I should spend a weekend curating or in the digital darkroom after a shoot.

    It's not a replacement for my photoblog or taking 'proper' photos but it's great fun both posting and consuming the pics in my stream from who I follow.

    I'm focus_pocus_org on there, I know there's at least a few boardsies on such as pullandbang and I'm seeing some great stuff in the camera phone thread. So who else is on there? how about sharing your Instagram username in this thread?

    I agree - i rarely work with my 'real' cameras outside projects now (something i don't like about myself..), but instagram has allowed me to take shots just for the sheer hell of it :) i love it! I'm sineadmcdonald. Lots of nonsense on my stream..

    amdgilmore... but I only have one upload and it's not exactly in the spirit of things.

    I don't really get it, to be honest.

    edit: I like your newspaper/airport photo there btw.

    Nothing really interesting on my profile but this is it.
    I'm using an iPhone 3G, it's got one of the worst cameras I've ever used.

    I have recently taken the plunge on Instagram too. (as brokenphones). However, the jury is still out on a verdict on whether I like it or just couldn't be
    arsed.

    The very odd time I'd post something from a camera but it's a lot of hassle.

    I am somewhat addicted to checking my Instagram feed. Mainly from an art perspective. I like following artists that are showing the "in progress" snaps of their work. Think it's a great way to see how people get from idea to finished piece.

    Predictably I'm @pullandbang on Instagram too. I only post pics from my phone and am actively unfollowing those who post pics from their cameras. I'm also unfollowing anyone who posts HDR or those who flood my feed with pics one after the other.
    I'm getting to be a grumpy miserable oul sod in my old age :D

    99% phone pics. I think I've posted 2 pictures from my camera (don't tell pullandbang) but everything else comes from the phone. I'm trying to post at least once a day in a half arsed attempt at a secret 356 but please don't tell anyone or I'll bottle it.

    #instaboards

    Etc... Ideas?

    Edit: instaboards is taken
