The Instagram Blog offers an interesting perspective on creating time-sensitive visual narratives with digital images. One of Instagram's location pages, hosted by GramFeed, tells the story of Instagrammers' search for the mythical Loch Ness Monster in the Scottish Highlands.
Even if you're not there in person, you can still follow their adventures as they document the quest for 'Nessie' using only their cell-phone cameras and the Instagram application. This is an important exercise in developing 'networked presence' on a mobile application. Users are invited to document and share experiences with an online community of image-sharers and bloggers. Each user adds to a cumulative gallery or 'stockpile' of images to create a collage of media which the public can access and share.
