endings :: instagram selection
considering whether to stay or to go. from instagram, but that's the theme right now anyway, so that's fitting.
the new terms they introduced are too much, but i have a feeling, or at least i'm hoping, they'll be doing some backtracking. i know a free service is never really for free. especially not on the internet. like they're saying: if you're getting it for free, you're not the customer, you're the product.
but still. there's a limit to what rights you'll sign off like that. i'm posting photos of friends and family. no way will i ever want to give up all rights of what context these photos can appear in. do i even have the right to do that? if i want to sell any photo to stock photos i'd have to get permission from anyone appearing in the photos... so how would someone else be able to just take my word for it?
we'll see. it's been fun so far. maybe it wasn't meant to be more than that.
for now the instagram selection is still coming through.

I have been having the same debate and struggle. It seems they are doing some backtracking, but I am not sure when we will know how this all shakes out. I love your recent photos from Denmark and Israel, such a contrast this time of year.
