For all those urban, sub-culture devotees, the working Instagram camera get-up is the perfect hipster Halloween costume.
The outfit was created by Eric Micotto. He used a cardboard printout of the infamous Instagram logo and mounted it like a wearable sign so it would go over his shoulders. A hole in the lens was cut out to place a Nikon D800 with a Eye-fi SD to take pictures of the All Hallow's Eve party-goers throughout the night. Another hole was made in the back of the outfit to mount an iPad. It would receive the photos using an automatic connection with the help of a wireless router and the ShutterSnitch app.
Throughout the night, this hipster Halloween costume is able to snap photos of ghoulish outfits and beer-sharing spooks and then display it for all to see on a camera back display.
