Rod Mar was on his hotel patio, relaxing near a fire on Saturday night when he received a call from Instagram’s Alex Owen. Mar, a sports photographer whose clients include ESPN and Sports Illustrated, was in Phoenix to cover the Super Bowl. But he was about to become the focus of a news story. Owen, a community manager at Instagram, had recently discovered Mar’s account, and wanted to feature Mar and his spectacular shots on Instagram’s blog.
