Instagram seeking morons to buy sepia-toned photo of your sandwich
Instagram would like to know if youâre interested in buying some strangely coloured photographs of peopleâs lunches, according to reports today. The photo service owned by Facebook has told users that it now owns all of those photos you took which showed why you never became an artist â and thinks there is a business model in there somewhere. Instagram spokesperson Simon Williams explained, âThere is definitely a market in poorly framed photographs of food and tedious every day items, as long as you adjust the colour balance to make it look like youâve left it in the sun for a couple of years.â âItâs just that we donât know how to find that market. Â I donât suppose you want to buy some, do you?â Instagram users have been left outraged by the move after failing to realise that any Internet service youâre using for free automatically makes you the âproductâ being sold. User Jayne Matthews told us, âIâm outraged. These photos of cheese sandwiches are mine and mine alone. I donât want some global magazine company buying them and putting them on the front of Vogue or something.â âI might just go back to making 35mm slides of these sandwich photos which no-one will ever see â my friends said theyâd quite like that, too.â
