Shooting splashes is always a great fun for me, especially coffee or tea splashes. Even if it’s a simple image with a coffee cup and a falling piece of refined sugar. But I tried to make it a bit more interesting and thought: maybe I can add some twist to it? So I did. The result: spilled-drinks-photography-diy-tutorial-dina-belenko-1 1. What I used: The most important thing was a solid background, I used a sheet of painted plywood....
There’s something about birthday cake that brings out the inner child in all of us. Maybe it’s the frosting, or maybe it’s the fact that it’s socially acceptable to eat dessert for breakfast the next day. But sometimes, that innocent slice of cake becomes less of a treat and more of a ticking time bomb, especially when it’s been sitting in the fridge, slowly disappearing, one piece at a time....
Mental health is a very sensitive subject that affects a lot of people. Specifically, suicide is not a topic that gets talked about enough, but the fact is that there are lots of individuals who have suicidal thoughts and are considering taking their own lives. They need our support. Entrepreneur Andrew Spade posted a touching message on Instagram and reached out to anyone and everyone who’s in an incredibly tough situation, like his wife Kate had been....

My name is Mina Gerges ( @KeepingUpWithMina ) and I can turn a curtain into a $10,000 dress! @KeepingUpWithMina is a project I started on Instagram because I don’t like societal expectations that confine how we’re supposed to act, dress, or look in order to fit in. In doing these pictures, I found freedom from restricting gender binaries and learned to celebrate something I love doing. What started out as a hobby using my sister’s hand-me-down makeup turned into a liberating and creative outlet for me to turn towels, curtains, and garbage bags into celebrity’s most intricate red carpet dresses and elaborate photoshoots....
I’m a 18-year-old conceptual photographer, mainly taking photos of my experiences as a chronically ill/disabled teenager. I’ve been ill for a little over seven years. I was 11 years old when my journey began and finally feel I have a medium in which I can comfortably, yet vulnerably, process my pain and share my story. To give a brief understanding, I have ME/CFS and also had CRPS. I deal with chronic nerve pain and debilitating daily seizure and muscle spasms which react to pain, noise and other sensitivities....
I first met cats on the internet. If the internet is bountiful with one thing, it is cats – their memes and videos. From this sprung yearning to really interact with cats. I spent a lot of time at Rehana Mohammed Shakir’s Pet Therapy and Surrogate Pet Programme, and learned so much about cats in there. Everyone at Rehana’s had unique personalities, they were all special and precious, they amazed me....
Singer Lizzo continues to be in the eye of the storm after the lawyer representing her former backup dancers — who are suing the four-time Grammy winner for alleged sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment — released a contemptuous statement about her “childish tantrums.” The lawyer’s statement comes days after Lizzo released a statement and said, “I quit.” However, her cryptic message did not specify whether she was quitting music, social media, or something else....
Long drives can be fun with the right kind of music and people, or else they might feel tiresome. That’s why folks who have to travel long distances regularly try to keep themselves occupied and don’t like it when their passengers interfere with the choice of entertainment . This is what happened when a man’s girlfriend kept muting his car stereo to take phone calls while he was covering a 3-hour journey ....
The problem with some liars is that they are so great at it they can almost make the other person start doubting themselves. These deceivers spin crazy yarns with a lot of confidence, which is what helps them get away with their falsehoods more often than not. This is what one woman faced after her boyfriend tested positive for chlamydia and tried to make her confess to cheating on him, even though she had never done so....
While nobody would argue against the need to promote computer literacy in order to avoid scammers, it’s equally important to also promote and empower people to fight back against them. You know, in the form of heckling them back in the same way they tried to do with you whilst saying they’re Tim from Microsoft support. Or something. Take note from this Redditor who narrowly avoided a scam, but instead of shrugging it off, they took it a step further and proceeded to call the scammer operations multiple times across several days....
With your head in the clouds, we may often forget the beauty that lies under our feet. Photographer Sebastian Erras reminds us of the beauty that we can find by taking photos of striking patterned floor tiles that he finds throughout Paris. Paris wasn’t nicknamed “The City Of Art” because of its vibrant floor tiles, but it could have been – whether they’re ceramic floor tiles, painstaking mosaics or other tile pattern designs, the floors Erras photographs are truly works of art....
Parenting a toddler in public is a logistical nightmare at the best of times. Every outing requires a tactical plan for snacks, naps, and, most crucially, the inevitable and urgent need for a bathroom. When you’re a dad out alone with your daughter, this final challenge becomes a multiple-choice question with no clear right answer. You act with the necessary urgency and make do with what the world provides you. You don’t leave your three-year-old alone in a public place....

I visited the Jurassic Coast to get a true feeling for the history of this land. It did not take long to find myself in the presence of dinosaurs, the majesty of the rock formations, the cliffs and the sea pools opened their secrets to me in all their ancient splendor. I felt a duty to use my camera and truly capture the feeling which this scenery imparted to my soul....
The sun rises at 8:30 in the morning and sets sometime around 3:30 in the afternoon. I believe one of the hardest parts about living in Scandinavia is the darkness… It’s not only the lack of sunlight that affects me the most, but also the disruption of my circadian rhythm because of the lack of sunlight. I find it difficult to get up in the morning. Coming from a place where I would rise with the sun (Southern California), and moving to a place where the sun comes up sometime around 9 a....
When you think of motorcycles and the people who ride them, often a specific image comes to mind. Does that image look like any of the motorcyclists pictured below? Women ride motorcycles across the planet. They ride dirt bikes, sport bikes, cruisers, dual sports and trials bikes. They ride around their cities, to work, on race tracks, and on epic rides across continents. The Global Women Who Ride Project interviews these riders and tells their stories, to provide much needed inspiration to all the girls and women out there who rarely see themselves depicted in mainstream motorcycling media and pop culture....
Being accepted by the family of your in-laws is the best (just ask this woman, who certainly knows a thing or two about not being welcomed by her in-laws ). David Lopez – a musician based in Los Angeles, California – shared a series of adorable texts he receives from his girlfriend’s little brother. It appears that the duo is bonding really well and that the young boy is looking up to David as an “older brother,” as one Twitter user pointed out....
Recently, United Parcel Service (UPS) drivers have begun sharing pictures of sweltering temperature readings well above 100F (38C) from inside their delivery trucks. In a viral tweet shared by Teamsters for a Democratic Union, workers show thermometers reaching 116F, 117F, and 121F — working conditions that are far from what is considered safe. “UPS CEOs would never accept working in 120- or 130-degree offices. Drivers shouldn’t either,” wrote the grassroots movement of the union representing UPS truck drivers....
