as technological improvements in photography advances, people have a stronger need to add shitty grainy filters on their photos

<rant> This sums up my hate for websites like instagram, and instacanv.as grow. I've felt the need to express my feelings.

Decades of advancements in technology and years of people mastering tools such as photoshop have all been thrown out the window thanks to these sites.

I know see people creating "VFX" items like this...

or this...

and Selling them as works of "ART". Being featured on the FRONTPAGE...

Anyone with a $50 smartphone can snap a photo, filter it, and then drag n drop images and call it art. But the problem is that People LIKE IT.  

Perhaps I missing the point behind this? Camera filters on smartphones have been around forever. I had little filters on a LG VX6000 flip-phone. And that was cool, for about 30 seconds.  Maybe I'm just too old to understand this. Or maybe I have a far deeper appreciation for quality photography, and art.

This sums it all up, I swear....
