My 18 Favorite Instagrammers

I've been meaning to compile a list of my ten favorite Instagrammers for a while, but when I finally got around to it this morning I could not limit them to ten. So here's my top-18 list, selected based on these criteria:
  • Original photos (ideally taken and posted with a phone, but that's hard to tell sometimes)
  • Public profiles, obviously
  • Fairly regular posts
  • Unpredictable content
  • Less than 100k followers
  • I find myself liking almost every one of their photos that I come across
  • Feed is a document of what they see, not just what they do
  • Little to no selfies (feet are OK)
  • And of course a good eye

Here's the list, in order of the number of followers as of today, with some brief commentary and one indicative photo:
