Seven saved posts / issue 001

Every night at 3am, my computer downloads all of my Instagram saved posts from the day before. I have always found Instagram, and especially Instagram saves, to be a walled garden, difficult to share and interact with except when inside the Instagram ecosystem. So, I built the archive, and thought it seemed like fun to pull a handful of images and text each week or two to share with friends and my online community. Thank you for tuning in

With love,

Noah

Joacim showed me this post at the Neww studio last week. I couldn't help but pull up the curation page responsible for posting and save several posts they had shared.
