For Texas Instagrammer Tony Ciampa (@emolabs), Instagram serves as a place where images and creative writing come together as a form of self-expression.

Tony took to Instagram to make friends after moving to Texas from his native Boston, and his photos reflect their adventures together. It wasn't until later when his experiments in poetry began.

It was the emotions from a relationship that prompted Tony to create the first of what would become his daily #fourpartpoems series. "I was just sitting out on a hill that overlooks the skyline drinking a beer. It felt like this quintessential moment in the life of a young adult, so I wrote down what was in my head, took a photo and posted it," Tony explains. The positive response on Instagram encouraged him to continue. “The photo style comes from @lidiagulyas,” says Tony, when asked what inspired his aesthetic: handwritten poems photographed in front of sweeping landscapes.

Tony writes all of the poems himself, first pouring out his day through free writing, then distilling out his rhymes from there. "In my mind," he says "that keeps the emotion as authentic as possible." He embellishes the poems with line drawings and sets up his photo before dusk, his self-imposed deadline for posting his work.
