Instagram Indianapolis : IG Worthy Indy!

Do you guys take way too many pictures like I do?  I am the worst!  I don’t even go back and delete the bad ones… they all just make their way to my files until one day I get to the point where my storage has run out… which might be soon… and I must start deleting.  But I do think it’s fun to post on Instagram all the great Indianapolis shots you can get while you are here!

But I just can’t help it!  I love that we can have instant memories like this and my brain doesn’t work in a capacity that I can remember things forever so I just click click click.  And my new favorite thing is to take photos of the girls around things that I hope will be around for a long time so I can take the same pictures over and over and over… which led me to this post.

INSTAGRAM INDIANAPOLIS

This city is FULL of beautiful wall murals and other fun art.
But some are more FUN than others and some make more interesting photos for IG.

Even if you aren’t a big IG person, you will still love walking by these spots and snapping a pic!

FISHERS

Put the “I” in Fishers
Nickel Plate District Amphitheater Pavilion, inspired by fourth graders at Harrison Parkway Elementary.  One of the newest installations in the North side suburbs, this is a fun new asset for Fishers!

Indy Wings

I Have a Dream
Artist Damon Lamar Reed Locked to recognize and celebrate the strong African American cultural heritage found along Martin Luther King, Jr. Street.  I love the style of this mural and not only does it make a beautiful statement, but it also could make a beautiful backdrop for photo storytelling.

Welcome to Garfield Park
As a starting project to their work in the Garfield Park neighborhood, south of downtown Indianapolis, Big Car Collaborative joined forces with the Garfield Park Neighbors Association on a gateway mural placed at the northern entrance to the neighborhood at Shelby and Raymond streets.  These types of wall murals are some of my favorites and really pop in photos.  They also make for great memories!

You Are Amazing
This boldly graphic mural of a blue-haired woman against a red-and-yellow striped backdrop was inspired by classic comic books and the vibe of the neighborhood.

Stargaze
This mural was an Indy Do Day project across from City Way on the south side of Downtown Indianapolis and was completed on Oct. 10, 2013.  This would make a awesome backdrop for family or senior photos!

Dimensional Shadows

INSTAGRAMMABLE FORT WAYNE

That’s a quick recap of some fun ones!  There’s so much “Instagrammable Indy” that it’s even hard to get started, but I’m glad to start sharing here!
I  hope to go out to a few more myself since the weather has started to cool a bit!  Do you have a favorite from above!?  Or do you have a favorite art installation from elsewhere?  I’d love to hear!
