    owvbics: Bukowski (Taken with instagram) Taken with instagram?  This wasn’t taken with instagram.  Bukowski died in 1994.  In fact, nothing is ever “taken with instagram.” Instagram is an electronic modifying and sharing program. The person who made the photo made the photo.  ”Modified and shared over the instagram network” would be more like it. Now, I have no beefs with instagram, or with owvbics, of course. (Thanks for sharing this photo.)  I appreciate how instagram is making even more people excited about the artistic possibilities of photographs, but I really wish we’d all think twice before we let out the little automatic “taken with instagram” note.
