Outside Instragram

Instagram is easily my favorite iPhone app right now and I'm certainly not alone. It's a fun, easy way to take and share great photos and the massive community that has developed around mobile photography is what keeps us all improving. As happy as I was to read the Mashable article this morning about Instagram coming to Android, I was much more excited to see the bonus segment with interviews from 15 of the app's most prominent photographers. Don't get me wrong, expanding the Instagram community beyond the iPhone is pretty big news, but what makes that bonus segment so great has little to do with the app itself. It's about taking better, more interesting and more artistic pictures...

Yo, my name is Jason!

Jason Beaird

I like to climb on things. Can I have a banana? Eep. Eep. I'm not really a monkey, I just play one on the internet. In real life, I'm a web designeloper. Here on my personal site, I tend to sidestep all things professional for more trivial faire. When I do write or speak about what I actually do for a living, I tend to do so elsewhere. Feel free to drop me a line if you have questions, or use that frighteningly descriptive hyperlink below to learn more.
