Instagram: "then my phone went and made it art"

our table in the mimosa cork zone at felix

Friends showed us a parody music video about Instagram to the tune of "Photograph" by Nickelback (warning: language). The song is essentially a list of ubiquitous Instagram photo subjects. Ian and I are pretty avid Instagram users, and when I heard the song start out with eggs Benedict (one of my earliest Instagrams at Felix in NYC, if you're wondering), I just had to see how our feeds matched up. Because it's always fun to laugh at ourselves.

If you're counting, we have 18 of 23, without taking any photos after watching the music video. We might lose points for stretching a few of the more specific photos, but I think we get bonus points for the specific ones we exactly matched, plus for chasing birds around in the city with an iPhone. I looked exactly like the guy in the video, minus the language.

So, fellow Instagram users, are you as guilty as we are?

See all our combined Instagrams, and follow us @scherling200 and @annakristina28.
