It might be interesting to do a separate one just on Instagram. I have no idea what half of the trending hashtags on Instagram means and a picture speaks a thousand words.
The Instagram pictures were there to back up the understanding of a hashtag generally. For under the world cup, it was really easy to find out what #worldcup2014 was about. Interestingly refreshing the page for a specific page during some kind of event, such as the world cup one, or during 24 Hours of Le Mans, it is easy to follow what people say about it. In the Le Mans case it was also quite easy to follow that for instanced someone crashed their as the sentiment drastically went to the negative side, and you could back that up with pictures of the crash on Instagram.
But I agree, a separate one analyzing the pictures could be valuable as well. However, Instagram pictures often don't contain much text apart from a wall of hash tags. So the text might not be super important to analyze. Anyways, picture analysis might be slightly more difficult and more resource intensive than text analysis, but very interesting as well.
