"I try to remember what your face looks like, but the image that comes up is your DSLR. With a neck." "Hua, please. You know how much extra money Instagram brings in for my stock photo business. We only get to travel like this because of it." "Yeah," she says. "Sure." But 'Fifty Most Instagrammable Places In The World' wasn't Hua's idea of a romantic travel brochure, and 'pick one; it's tax deductable' wasn't a romantic vacation pitch. At first, she felt like a fashion model. 'Click!' Every few minutes. Now it just felt like being trailed by the FBI.
