I spent 3 weeks in Sapporo this January, shooting streets during snowstorms. I’ll share some of my favorite photos in this post. My name is Teemu, I’m an urban street photographer based in Asia. I love to take photos especially at night, and I’ve been inspired by cyberpunk and noir films. My favorites include Blade Runner 2049 and Road to Perdition. I hope you like the shots!

Betrayal is the worst thing to face, and it’s even more heartbreaking when it’s done by someone you love . When you put your trust in someone else, it’s shocking if the other person takes it for granted or stomps on your heart. It’s even worse when the betrayer is your own kid who is purposely trying to hurt your feelings. A man on Reddit found out that his stepdaughter had known about his wife’s affair all along and chose to keep the secret because the other man was buying her stuff....

I’m Ivelina Blagoeva, 36 years old, from Bulgaria. I like to shoot mostly abstract and macro photography. The beauty of nature is all around us. But beauty can be found in the surrounding household items. By the forms, colors and the processes occurring in them, everyday objects can be captured in an unusual way. I try to improve my own results, and I find inspiration as in the works of other authors, as well as in the search for a different look at some very ordinary objects....

In an awesome fashion mash-up that nobody could’ve foreseen, Muslim fans of the Japanese lolita fashion trend have begun pairing these sweet-as-candy outfits with their hijabs, creating a unique new style that Japanese lolita fans are falling in love with.

The trend’s fans (called ‘lolitas’) then meet up at various events to spend time together and appreciate each others’ outfits (or, as they call them, ‘coords’)....

I was looking forward to my trip to the Dolomites mountain range. I visited it two summers ago and the breathtaking views and scenic mountain panoramas stuck with me. I started photographing as a hobby last year and was planing to take as many shots as possible on this trip. I stayed at Cortina d’Ampezzo in a small family hotel Villa Alpina, which I highly recommend. It’s not easy to get up at 4 am and then drive for an hour to the mountain pass....

“The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost… for none now live who remembers it.” With these words, the now iconic “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy by Peter Jackson begins, and with these same words, we could fully characterize this post of ours. The first part of “The Lord of the Rings” was released almost a quarter of a century ago, and since then, the world has changed so dramatically that it seems like at least a century has passed....

I was one of those weird kids in school who never cheated during a test. Just the idea of being caught sent a chill down my spine. It was a bit too much to handle for my tiny anxious brain. However, this did not stop any of my classmates from cheating. There were often mini-competitions for whoever had the smallest handwriting or the best way of hiding their cheat sheets. It got gradually insane with every test they took....

The Juruks settled in Macedonia in the 14th century. In that period of time, they were called ‘’children of the conqueror’’ because they were moving together with the Ottoman army.

The houses where they live are ‘’stuck in time’’ – white walls, narrow windows, low ceilings and rooms without furniture....

Every day, this girl uploads a photo with a particular theme using strange international holiday such as thread the needle day or tequila day.
