Paint a Vulgar Picture

Me and Ben were talking about the 'Instagram' iPhone app yesterday and after confessing I'd quite like it for Blackberry, I can't really think why I'd say such a ridiculous this.

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious dickhead, real photos are the way to go. Why - you may ask? Here are 5 reasons.

1. You need them printed and thus are more motivated to stick them up on your wall, make a fancy mural, start your photo journal or worship them if you're that way inclined.



2. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes - take Sarah's amazing collection for example. We get gems like this..



3. They're more flattering, most of the time. This is me, post-break-up-breakdown, in about 30 degrees heat at Glastonbury and with a stupid bowl cut. Still look about average.




4. On the contrary, there is no delete button on a film camera and thus leaves you with tragic gems such as this.




5. I don't really have a fifth reason as such, merely just want to post Natalie's example of film photographs in all their beauty.
