I love taking pictures of my littles (not an actual word). That is no secret. If you follow me on instagram, you might get over whelmed by all my pictures. My oldest son jokingly made up a song with the tune from the 90s show, Full House. I laughed as he sang, "Everywhere we go, everywhere we go, there's my mom, there's my mom, taking pictures of all of us". Funny thing is, my children don't even notice the camera or phone anymore. I am no professional, never took a photography class. I am loving the opportunity to learn and practice, while capturing memories of them. I also love instagram, I love the community, the friendships I've made by sharing pictures. I've watched fellow IGers' children grow through pictures, just like they are watching mine. We may never meet, who knows maybe we will. I simply love to be able to share with others of common interest, admire beauty with pictures of places I might never go to and people I may never meet.
The instagram community works by sharing your pictures, doing this, one does loose some privacy. Lately, I've been dealing with people taking pictures from my account without permission and either posting them as their own or tagging me after doing so, sometimes just randomly finding my pictures on people's profiles. You might tell me, if you want your pictures to be safe, remain private. Problem is, that defeats the whole idea of sharing. I like to share, just do not appreciate someone taking my pictures and re posting them without asking first. I've contemplated being private, but I know that is not for me. I apologize for my rant, but I think it is common sense. Sharing is not always caring, sometimes just plain stealing and rude!
Remember Jace's motto, "No share", haha!
