Is Instagram Helping Or Hurting Travel Photography?

Great article! I am not even sure why this had not crossed my mind yet but you're very right.

The nice thing about Instragram, in my opinion, is that for the most part (although not always, your example above is a good example of an exeption) is that instagram photos LOOK like instagram photos. And they're out there enough that people can recognize them. I'm more wary of the "regular" filters that make blue (skies, water) and other colors way more intense than they are in reality, or fades them enough so the "dirt/grittiness" is glossed over like photoshopping models on magazines is.

Instragram has another audience to reach, so there is that on the + side. Great article, thanks for sharing!
