So today, I'm going to show you how Instagram works.
You may be saying, "A blind guy using Instagram?"

The interesting thing about doing Instagram for me,
is that I get to take pictures of the world as it sort of goes by,
or of places that I go -
You know, little pictures of work or whatever,
And it's just sort of fun for me - I've never had a camera before.
And yes, just like the iPhone, Instagram is accessible too.

So what that means is that the iPhone will talk to me as I move my finger around the screen.
and tell me where I am.
[VoiceOver] tab bar home tap bar popular tab bar camera
So, let's just get the camera up.
[VoiceOver] tap bar camera button
[click, blip]
And look, now on the bottom...
[VoiceOver] take photo button
That's what it will do.
So we'll just take a picture of the crew.
Why am I holding the phone up to my face, like I can look through the thing, is beyond me.
But here we go.
[drumroll]
[phone imitates camera click]
And there's our picture. So I can just run my finger across the bottom of the phone,
and it'll tell me what filters I have to choose from.
[VoiceOver] apply filter Amoro button
[click] apply filter Rise button
So we'll select filters Pro 2.
[VoiceOver] Apply filters Pro 2.
So let's accept our picture.
[VoiceOver] accept photo button
[click, blip]
And now we have to put caption on it.

So now we'll just tell Siri what to write...

Now we have to choose all the different sharing options.
[VoiceOver] toggle twitter sharing toggle facebook sharing
toggle flickr sharing toggle tumblr sharing
switch button on [blip] off [blip] on
[VoiceOver] done
[click, blip]
(Tommy) And here's our Instagram, look.

(Tommy) I've been getting some interesting comments about these, too.
You know, somebody told me that one was just an orange smudge.
[Tommy laughs]
So, I took a nature shot one time, and somebody said I couldn't screw up nature,
I took one of myself and it was a shot up my left nostril,
so it was great.

Someone asked me one time, if I checked these pictures out with anybody.
The answer is no. They're much more fun this way.
I don't think I'd ever take pictures if I asked anybody what they looked like.
You know, if they were any good or not.
So that's the fun of Instagram.
Join in everybody.
