You may be surprised to learn that people miss on average 70 percent of their feeds. As Instagram has grown, it’s become harder to keep up with all the photos and videos people share. This means you often don’t see the posts you might care about the most.
To improve your experience, your feed will soon be ordered to show the moments we believe you will care about the most.
The order of photos and videos in your feed will be based on the likelihood you’ll be interested in the content, your relationship with the person posting and the timeliness of the post. As we begin, we’re focusing on optimizing the order — all the posts will still be there, just in a different order.
If your favorite musician shares a video from last night’s concert, it will be waiting for you when you wake up, no matter how many accounts you follow or what time zone you live in. And when your best friend posts a photo of her new puppy, you won’t miss it.
We’re going to take time to get this right and listen to your feedback along the way. You’ll see this new experience in the coming months.
JUST NO @instagram - dont be a bunch of fucking douches!

A little while ago, my partner entered his photo into a competition, not thinking much of it. He was then informed that his photo was in the top 10, and will be displayed at Birdie Conference. This was great news, and considering we were coincidently travelling to London the same day for a family…
Since August, I’ve been involved with a fantastic project entitled “Creative Cargo”. This is a Strong Island project aimed at promoting Portsmouth’s cultural and creative industries.
I have spent the last month and a half managing the restoration/up-cycling of the steamer cases at the heart of…
To celebrate the launch of our new photography conference, BIRDIE, we decided to run a little competition.
We asked how you would represent the last 12 months in a single image and we received a ton of excellent entries. The wait is over and the results are in! So without further ado, we’re…
My image made the final 10!!!!
Old Vic Tunnels, London
I finally found the Old Vic Tunnels of London. They are like nothing I’ve seen before and I really enjoyed walking through them, seeing the different kind of people who were attracted there. A few artists were working along one section of the tunnels. I love seeing all artists at work, its great seeing someone’s vision come to life. How they create something that they original saw only in their mind.

Shoreditch, London
I love old posters on walls. They’ve become a part of a series that I’ve been meaning to pick up since I started it during my first year of my photography degree. The series is called ‘You had to be there’ and looks at event posers after they have occurred and how unimportant they become, slowing decaying.
If you look close you’ll see a piece featured by the fantastic Portsmouth street artist My Dog Sighs.

Spice Island Winners Exhibition - Zodiac Gallery, The Portsmouth Guildhall
I managed to miss the Spice Island Art Trail (again!) this year. But I did make it to the winners exhibition which has some great pieces in it.
The overall winner was Kas Williams, and quite rightly so. The intracate paper sculptures are just stunning. I admire artists that can create something so beautiful out of everyday objects.
My favourite pieces from the rest of the exhibition are from the “Brick House Man”, Lyn Richards. His house portraits are unique and beautiful. Individually, they make great mementos for home-owners. Together, they’re like a giant lego set, sitting comfortably aside each other, creating one of a kind street scenes.
There is such a broad range of art on show this year, with Fiona Harvey (photograph), Michael Wright (oil paintings), Julie Chappell (computer bugs), and Jessica Taylor (rigging tapestry) also exhibiting, all with fabulous work. Head down the to Guildhall to see the show, running until Tuesday 8th July.
A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog. I’m still trying to fight my way into the art world. I’m still meeting as many people as I can. But one big thing has changed…I left my job. It begun as a Christmas temp job. Two and a half years later, it was time to call it quits. I wasn’t…
