What do you think? …

We've open sourced the project as well at https://github.com/simplecasual/...

Big plans for this little project but would love to hear what you fine folks think so far : )

@lukesbeard oh, you tease. Love the clean, bold design (all you, @alexbaldwin?) although the profile pics and username tend to blend into the photos. It also wasn't obvious to me that they linked to their Instagram profile until I hovered over the text. What do you think about linking the entire row (ie, all of the photos) to that page or present some sort of mouseover CTA? This seems important assuming the primary goal is to get people to find and follow new Instagram photographers. Also why not display the email subscribe at the very top? That seems more important than the "suggest a photography" imho.

@rrhoover design details are all the wonderful work of @lukesbeard. My role was mediocre Ruby developer. The whole row of photos *does* link to their Instagram profile. Agree with you on the hover CTA and other points. We'll be revising over the next few days, thanks @rrhoover.

@alexbaldwin odd. The images aren't hyperlinked for me (Mac + Chrome). @lukesbeard and well done, sir. :)

@rrhoover @alexbaldwin Same. I couldn't click on photos, but that was exactly where I tried clicking to get to their Instagram profiles. Mac + Chrome
Luke Beard
@rrhoover Good points!

Super cool! Love the idea, and that you open sourced it. As this grows, I'd love to see you guys filter the photographers more. (eg filter on some dimensions like genres, popularity, and fastest-growing?)
