Dreaming of Artsy Instagram Posts - Without Filters and Cropping

This is just fantastic.

Thai photographer Chompoo Baritone has been re-imaging Instagram posts to capture what the un-cropped version of an image would look like.

The reason? Instagram posts are not only cropped to perfection, but filtered and altered to the point of ridiculousness. Many images are semi-fictionalised versions of a person's life, heightened to only show the good aspects, while leaving out the bad. Baritone is just reminding us to take these images with a grain (truck-full) of salt.

The project is called #slowlife, and we're big fans, not only because it's a cool idea, and well done, but some of them are hilarious.
