41 Striking Before-and

Imagine hopping in a time machine, going back a century, and telling someone that today, if you have the money for it, you can walk into a clinic and come out with a new nose or a face that looks twenty years younger. They’d think you lost your mind. But here we are— plastic surgery is no longer rare, and it’s becoming more accessible every year. So it follows that more results are being shared out in the open, too....

Animal Cruelty Is Now Officially A Nationwide Felony In The Usa

Couple Lies About Being Pregnant To Ruin Man’s Wedding As He Proposed At Theirs Against Their Wish

Of all the things ever invented by humanity, double standards are perhaps among the most insidious that allow us to save face by doing almost any nasty thing. In other words, we act badly towards others, and when they do approximately the same thing towards us, we are sincerely indignant over this. A separate category of stories about double standards is wedding steals, when a relative makes an important announcement right at someone else’s wedding, automatically shifting the “center of gravity” from the newlyweds to themselves....

Some believe that all people are creative on some level. Some people take that belief to a completely new level. Take Anthony Hoyte, for example – a recreational cyclist that loves what he does so much, he decided to dedicate a lot of time into it and bring it further by cycling for long hours just to create images on a fitness app called “Strava”. Of course, it would be too little to draw just any ordinary image at this time of the year, therefore he decided to bring some festive cheer and draw a reindeer while cycling around London....

Sacred, it is this place at the end of a path which not long ago I have walked: forested, the road rises from the foot of a small Italian city and ends at the top of a hill, where you will find an imposing monastery rich in art and history, engulfed by an oak forest, a place hard to find for vandals.

Whether it’s a small trip hiking upstate New York or around my local area. Photographing strangers is a completely different experience than having models arranged. I like to pick their brains about who they are, what they do, what they value. Some strangers will let me take a photo and leave while others I’m still in touch with today!...
