dadsaretheoriginalhipster: Your dad used Instagram before you did and he’s got the gritty textured photos to prove it. He was a cross-processing, Kodachrome king that captured one second still-stories of his almost unbelievable life. While dome-rushed off developer fumes in a dark room, he perfectly made prints like a Picasso of the 5x7 canvas. Each shot was delicately treated to expose more than just the moment it captured. If a picture is worth a thousand words, his photos were worth a 34 chapter mystery-seduction-adventure novel of them. So hipsters, when you’re attempting to take emotive square shots, and then layering effects over your images to cover up your lack of talent as a photographer, remember this… Your dad was a real photographer, and every time you double tap an image, his camera shutter shudders from the disgrace you have brought him.  Thanks to EmmaFrozenPants on tumblr for the photo.  Also, you can pre-order your copy of Dads are the Original Hipsters the book here.  http://www.amazon.com/Dads-Original-Hipsters-Brad-Getty/dp/1452108854 Haha, this one’s pretty relevant to my dad.

huffingtonpost: “Keep in mind that you aren’t the first person to have asked them. A lot of people see how bad the photos of the animals in the shelter are and think, ‘I could do such a better job than that!’ So they come in for a day, see how much work the job involves, and never come back. Shelters want and need help, but they are wary of getting burned over and over again. Make sure they know you are serious about helping, and aware of what the job entails.” Eric Wilson is our hero.  Eric Wilson: I Shoot Dogs (PHOTOS) Wow, mine too.
