I was on the brink of 1800 pics on instagram and I was ashamed. It's sorta like my twitter where I have posted near 50k tweets and only have like 800 followers. And couple years ago I had posted like 5k pics on facebook. Pretty embarrassing. lol It's like when I happen upon a new social networking site I go APESHIT! And as I was looking through my instagram pics, I noticed that I post a lot of pointless stuff, well at least stuff that isn't relevant anymore.
Let's be honest most people only pay attention to those 16 most recent pics. Unless they are like me, and I will scroll through the entire history if I find someone cool enough. But the cool people don't usually have 1800 pics posted unless they are June Ambrose. Anywho, aside from appearing "cool" and follow worthy, I'm trying to consolidate my brand and not distract people from my main business which is reselling vintage clothes. I really don't need comments on an eyeshadow pic I posted when I'd rather you pay attention to the pictures of items I have for sale.
It took me about 3 days to delete 400 some odd pics. I still want to delete about 400 more. I mean I posted some really irrelevant dumb stuff. Especially when I first got my iPhone. I was just super excited. I wonder what is the rationale behind not having the option to delete multiple instagram pictures through the app?

The Unsuspecting Photographer
Those of you like me who frequent places and events alone, are familiar with the hunt for someone to take your picture for you. This can also occur when you want someone to capture you and a friend.
I'm curious as to the type of person you seek to ask. I usually go for the single black male. One, because he aint got shit else to do. Two, because I dare him to turn me down. I hate when I have to teach them Photography 101 and they still take a mediocre pic!
"Yes, I want a full length." "Yes, I want my shoes in the shot." "Scoot back" "Come closer." "Turn the phone longways" Grrrr!
Mind you no one has ever refused to take my picture for me but I'm always a bit anxious to ask them. I'm afraid to seem thirsty, narcissistic, and alone.
How do you feel when asking or asked about picture taking from a complete stranger?
Here's my most recent pic that I asked from a strange black make. He did ok, but I'd have loved for him to take a couple more. That's another requirement! At least take 2!
