#Nepal in Instagram: Sneak peek into a Week!
I have to say that #Nepal is a hit among the Instagram crowd too. OMG so so so many photos with the hashtag Nepal, I'm bowled over! I honestly didn't think Nepal would be attracting so many instagram posts, but it does.
Initially I wanted to do a year 2014 sneak peek of the best insta shots with #Nepal, but I couldn't. When you have 20 or so photos added every second, that simply becomes a humongous task-something akin to poring over WikiLeaks document I guess. So I tried to zero on in December but even that proved to be too much. I have zero patience to sit through such stuff! If only I had a few cells called "patience" in me I would be doing a PhD seriously! So I went with a week. A day would be too lazy, even for me.
Anyway, I persevered for at least a week to come up with this selection of photos with hashtag Nepal. From what I can see, with #Nepal the hits are prayer flags, monks or lots of maroon swish and swash, monkeys, Kathmandu streets, sunlights filtering in, mountains (of course!!!) & momos as well. Hmm, so if we could make a stereotype of Nepal from what we see in instagram it would be monk (or a monkey honestly) with mountains and prayer flags. Perfecto-no wonder people keep asking me about Tibet whenever I mention the N word. Gimme a break prayer flags.
There is also a lot of other things going on, as we can see in the photos. Apart from the "stereotypes", there are many other beautiful shots. I had great difficulty choosing the ones I liked the most to display here but at the same time I am so happy that such quality photography is being promoted via instagram too. Instagram is no longer just for food and ducky selfies-yesss!!
So here are my choices: I loved looking at them again and again. Following all or most of these instagrammers is also recommended, as their posts are generally worth having a 10 seconds glance-which is what instagram is for right? Or am I doing it wrong?
Although I would have liked to see photos of my mom n her friends, this will have to do for now :)
Although @namastheteaco is basically a business promotion instagram account, there photos are oh so good. Not sure if all of them are taken in Nepal, but their posts say so. Their shallow DoF photos are a visual feast. Also makes me wanna have a cup of green tea pronto.
So what do you think?
Will you be showing us your sneak peeks ?
