Excerpt from this Daily Dot interview with Instagramers.com founder Philippe Gonzalez:
“We have to say that IGersManila from Philippines is probably the strongest community all over the world,” he told us. “They have more than 800,000 [tagged photos] and have probably the biggest meeting in terms of people. Other strong communities are [the] Brazilian, Hong Kong, Italian, Singapore, Spanish and Turkish networks. These countries’ users are also the most active in sharing their lives through pics in other social networks too. In US we can underline the great job done since the beginning by Instagramers Portland and Instagram NYC.”
@IGersManila is the official Philippine representative at the Instagramers.com network of Instagram cities and international communities.
Instagram has always been about snapping a picture, choosing a filter, transforming its look and feel, and sharing it to the world. We made it more personal by sharing our stories behind the photos we post. This time, let’s shift our focus on the person behind the lens - the one capturing the moments, the photographer freezing time and the IGer sharing #whoawesome photos for the world to see. This is @IGersManila’s #MeAndIG.

We kickoff the week with Sunday’s celebration of Mother’s Day with which we asked you to share your LIFE LESSONS FROM MOM as our way of showing our gratitude to the woman who has always been our perfect fan - our mothers who have always played a very important role in our lives, they have guided us as we grow, shaped our character, and molded us to the persons we are, as we explore the world.

Today, Monday 14-May-2012, share with us your HOBBY. Aside from your digital photography, tell us what you love to do in your spare time. Be it cooking or gardening, handicraft or body building, post a photo of the things/activities you do with your leisure time. Have fun and be creative with your posts using your favorite photo edit and filter apps.
