Summer in Perdido Key: Belly Beach Parade

A beachgoer in Perdido Key, Florida Summer 2017

I'm addicted to this filter I used to take the above photograph. On my mobile phone - via the Facebook app - I upload random photos to "my story." My friends over at Snapchat were made famous with this kind of ephemera-generating technology - so I guess Facebook has jumped on the bandwagon to compete. And I think Instagram has a similar feature.

Basically, you can take immediate photos - using an array of filters - and wham it appears in your story for twenty-four hours - then it disappears. That's it.

But, anyway - I liked the bevy of filtered photos that I took at the beach - so I saved them all so they wouldn't be eradicated forever.
