instamap

Lately I've been a little obsessed with maps. I'm even looking for a map so I can pin all of the places I've been on my wall. And of course you can do this virtually. This is an awesome widget for any website. It uses the photos from your instagram account and pins them on the map where you took them using google. And it's free. Here's all the places I've instagrammed recently:

I love going back and looking at old photos. Actual photographs that were developed and printed and stuck in a box somewhere in the storage closet and also digital photos that you find in the hidden corners of your hard drive. Ones that you forgot about. I love it when you find a great photo that you passed over the first time and rediscover it on second glance. These are my favorite type of photos. This is one I found of my mom and dad not too long ago. I took the picture just last year at my cousin's wedding. I love the way they are looking at each other, after all these years it's exactly the same as photos found in the box from when I was a kid.
