Facebook announced today via a blog post that they bought the very popular Instagram, the photo sharing service that connects to a variety of social end-points (not to mention has a slew of cool filters).
This is big news, not only because the purchase price was $1billion and stock options, but because Instgram was setting out to be THE leading social app for mobile devices.
It was wildly popular on iOS and just recently, took a stronghold on Android.
Photographers tend to be picky with their equipment so trying to get them a job-related gift can be challenging. However, there are some good gems that the photographer in your life would appreciate if they found it under the Christmas tree this month.
Here are just a few that he or she will appreciate; will help him or her with their photography hobby (or job); and, not to mention, are pretty wallet friendly.
Erin and Mel
I am a huge photo buff (if you couldn't tell from my website). With a talented eye and the right equipment anyone can be a good photographer. I consider myself a pretty decent one.
My work speaks for itself and as a result I get a good flow of wedding opportunities each year.
This season I only had a few, mostly because I'm not aggressively marketing my services and I wanted to tone it down a little this year -- mostly because I need a little break from the action. My busy schedule has caught up with me and I've realized that I need a little me time and time with the family.
Today I have my last wedding of the season and ironically enough it's one where the groom is a very good friend of mine -- someone who goes back to my Boston Globe days. It's sort of a professional career full circle thing.
So while I do love shooting weddings, I am no sad to see the season go. I'm a week or so away from a much needed vacation and am looking forward to the time off.
