I have no idea what black metal is as far as a music genre. For me, the late ’80s group Living Color comes to mind, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. A dude going by the name John Awesome and his fiance Nydia Hernandez were in the woods taking engagement photos when they happened on a black metal band called Coldvoid in full makeup.

Social media has made it easier for people to – for lack of a better word – spy on other people. Wondering where your ex went last night? Curious about your crush’s current whereabouts? Just go to their profile and check out the pics that they’re tagged in, which most likely has their location tagged, too.

Pictures speak a thousand words. A couple more hundred, if they’re really good. When arranged one after the other chronologically, you could even use them to tell your life’s story. Doing so, however, will take a lot of time and patience that you may not have.

Even though Instagram reportedly lost a significant number of users due to their TOS fiasco late last year, millions of people are still happily snapping away at their stylized Insta-pics. If you’re an avid Instagrammer, you’ll be happy to know you can now make your own custom watch using one of your Instagram pics.

Even though Instagram did a 180 this week, after announcing that they could use everyone’s photos to make money, you never know what might happen to your content with these kind of free services. So if you’re done with Instagram, here’s how to safely backup your photos and port them onto another service, like Flickr.

Something as simple as a roll of Scotch tape can transform faces in a not-so-pretty way. In fact, the Scotch Tape series of photos shot by Wes Naman borders on horrifying. Who knew tape could turn regular peoples’ faces into such grotesque abominations?

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, the elbow boob existed. It was an innocent thing – nothing but a joint, but Facebook saw fit to take down any images of it because, well, it looked too much like a female breast.

Life can get pretty hectic sometimes. There’s school if you’re a student, work if you’re already working, and work plus school if you’re getting a graduate degree while doing some hard labor. With all the stuff you have to do on a daily basis, your life can pass you by, if you’re not careful.

Don’t expect a gallery of human chicks in hats, because this post is going to be about actual chicks in hats. You know, baby chickens.

Have you ever wanted a dedicated device to navigate your Instagram feeds? Well, Instagram addicts rejoice, because D2M is working on something they call Instacube, which will allow you to do exactly that and more!

Do you use an extra battery grip for your DSLR? Since they can be kind of bulky anyhow, Irish photographer Dave Hunt managed to squeeze a fully-functioning Raspberry Pi SBC inside his detachable battery grip, and programmed it so that it would push the images he takes to his iPad for easy viewing.

Do you love Instagram? How about seeing the world through Instagram filters? That’s the idea behind the Instaglasses. While these glasses are just a concept and probably will never be made, it does make you think what you could achieve with augmented reality glasses and the right software.

If you’re into iPhonetography (meaning you use your iPhone a lot to take photos), then you’ve probably already heard of Instagram. In case you haven’t, it’s a free app that lets you apply filters and all sorts of cool effects to your shots.

I remember back in the day how sparingly most people took photos with their film cameras because: a) shots were limited, and b) it was relatively expensive to have photos developed. Never mind the fact that you didn’t know how they were going to come out.

These photos are part of a series by Canadian photographer Todd McLellan. They showcase retro tech that’s been completely disassembled down to its individual parts.

The things that kids do for entertainment these days is completely different from what we did as kids in my generation. We didn’t have a whole lot of handheld video games, although we had our imaginations and our Super NES and that was enough.
