It's a crazy story but, well, you know I adore instagram. I love my little community of instagram friend's and the fun we have posting square photos. Well, every weekend instagram hosts a prompt called Weekend Hashtag Project and on Monday they feature a handful of photos that the intagram team has chosen.
Well, I always read the intagram blog and noticed last weekend that the prompt was
Local Story, to capture everyday stories that were happening around you. So when I took a photo with my cellphone of some ladies walking across a street wearing kimono, I randomly remembered the prompt and
posted it on instagram with the hashtag #WHPLocalStory.
So then everything was normal until I woke up on Tuesday morning to find my cellphone bombarded with notices from instagram, pretty much every other second. At first I thought my account had been hacked or my cellphone was having an episode (it's Sony Xperia). It took me a minute (okay, more than a minute...I hadn't had my coffee yet!), but I finally figured out what was going on.
My photo had been chosen as part of the #WHPLocalStory feature on instagram!
How incredible is that? Especially for an instagram addict like me. It completely blew me away. And I got to connect with the other people who were featured as well, which was just as exciting.
So yes, last month was pretty bizarre. How about you? x
