I am an artist, college student, wife, mother, New Yorker, amateur photographer and vintage camera enthusiast. Trying to figure out my niche in the photography world, and hopefully take my place in it.

It really is upsetting. I HATE what Penn Station is now. It’s gross. I hate whenever I have to go to Penn Station. I avoid it completely but if it looked anything the way it did, I would not mind.
I just watched a movie called Shuffle, it’s on demand on Netflix. It’s kind of, It’s a Wonderful Life/ Ground Hogs Day, style movie. Aw, I really liked it. It was funny, sweet and sad. A little sappy. Probably a chick-flick but I really wasn’t expecting what I saw from the synopsis. I could relate to the main character on so many levels and I guess that is what really got me about it. I know what it’s like.

Really interesting article discussing new policies from Instagram, now part of Facebook. These new policies taking affect in January, will allow Instagram to sell your photos. Any photo taken. Including photos of your family, friends.. your children. They will not pay you anything or even let you know that they have sold your photos. Essentially making Instagram a stock photo app where users never see a penny. There will be no option to opt-out. I think it will result in the demise of the app from faithful users like me. Hopefully they change their policies before they go into affect, otherwise I’m gone. If you don’t want your photos sold without your permission, you need to delete your account before January 16.
