Instagram user since: 99 weeks ago

 

Why he took the plunge: “My wife got me into it, she knew Twitter and I didn’t really get along. ”

 

Gadget of choice: “I use an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy Tab.”

 

What you’ll see on his feed: “Skull rings, skulls, motorcycles, tattoos, occasional travel photos.”

 

Favorite Instagram subjects: “Skulls, our wax models, a lot of hands and fingers sporting rings.”

 

Favorite filter: “I like the first two filters, Amaro and Early Bird. They help bring the contrast up and makes the image more defined.”

 

Favorite Instagram-related apps: I love Snapseed, it’s like mobile Photoshop, simple controls intuitive. I could edit photos the whole day on that app.”

 

Instagram video—yes or no? “It’s like Twitter, the video has to be witty. It’s hard to be witty for 15 seconds. On the back end I still think it needs more work. It loads too slow.”

 

Instagram pet peeves: “Selfies with the giant faces.”

 

His five favorite Instagram users:

1. @benjiescaferacer: Bikes, cafe racers, my favorite bike builder. An interesting mix of motorcycles and puppy photos.

2. @blacksheepmanila: He has nice ride photos, a lot of old bikes on his feed also. Crazy 120 kph moving shots.

3. @garrypeppergirl: Interesting art direction, great photos of a lady who travels the world taking nice photos in very curated outfits.

4. @bmbl Bembol De la Cruz: One of my favorite artists, always interesting feed tattoos and art.

5. @the vintagent: Paul d’Orleans, a motorcycle journalist and wet plate photographer. So many old machines that are ridden, not just displayed.
