soupsoup:

Treating myself to a Bill’s Burger after a long day of moving. (Taken with instagram at Bill’s Bar & Burger)

Listen, I love soupsoup and bill’s bar/burger as much as the next guy, but this is a perfect example of how instagram makes great stuff look really, really shitty.
This does not look like food. This looks like a still from an abstract horror movie, or a microscopic image from an unpleasant scientific study. 
Instagram is cool in its photo sharing/location capabilities, but the photos look dumb. Technology has progressed to a point where digital photos don’t need to look so washed out and dull. It doesn’t make you look artsy, or with it, or whatever—it just tells the world you have an iPhone, basically.
(PS congrats on the move, soup, sry for using you as an example :/ )
