Sounds fun right? That’s because it is! These people did it, and they’ll never look back. Check out some of the best examples of the #BookFace challenge on Instagram.

15. Adele Parks

…is the name of the author, I’m not actually sure what this book is.

14. Autumn

I dunno, you look more like a winter to me.

13. The Only Pirate at the Party

And yet not a single peg leg? Very very suspicious.

12. Back Cover

Does this guy even know you’re taking a picture of him right now?

11. Hey, Water!

Hey, a cool photo!

10. I Don’t Want to Wash

5 years of Spanish classes and that’s about the most translating I can do.

9. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Though ironically it’s more of a medium shot.

8. Sofies Welt

That is one THICK German philosophy book.

7. Who is Ruth Bader Ginsburg

We can only hope you’ll be the next RBG, little one.

6. Hands Are Not For Hitting

But are they for throwing though?

I am strangely drawn to this.

It’s your move.

Like using a stranger for this pose?

Enjoy These 15 Animals Without Necks, Just Because

I don’t know how to prepare you for what you’re about to see. There’s really no clever way to introduce it.

These are animals without necks. When you see them, you will want to laugh. And that’s fine, because they are not cursed to live this way by some genetic accident. They’re just the fever dreams of a photoshopping Instagrammer who…has certainly found their niche.

Here are what some animals would look like without necks. Just because.

15. Polar Bear

He do a strut.

14. Zebra

This is me after I tell a bad joke and nobody laughs.

13. Deer

Such a majestic creature.

12. Pelican

Are you a pelican or a pelican’t?

11. Giraffe

“Oh come on man, that was like my ONE THING.”

10. Tiger

Excuse me, comin’ through.

9. Donkey

Dat *ss though.

8. Cow

She looks so suspicious, I can’t handle it.

7. Camel

Don’t smoke, kids.

6. Elephant

Lemme just strut this tusk for a minute.

5. Goat

The greatest of all time.

4. Hippo

Is this a baby Jabba the Hutt?

3. Turkey

Nice try, Thanksgiving.

2. Doge

Truly man’s best friend.

1. Meerkat

Or mere cat?

I’ve been laughing for so long and staring at these so intently that I’ve nearly forgotten what necks look like. I may shock myself when I see my own in the mirror soon.

I think this is really what photoshop has been leading up to. Nay, it’s what computer technology in general has been leading up to.

Which one do you think is the funniest? What do you hear them saying in your head when you see the picture?

This Guy is a Master at Photoshopping Himself Into Stock Photos

If you spend enough time online, you see a lot of the same stock photos over and over and over again. A lot of times, they’re pretty dull and unintentionally funny.

But not anymore, friends!

These People Went to Great Lengths to Get the Perfect Shot

I’ve worked on film sets and I know probably better than most people that every cool image you see had a lot of work put into making it happen.

Often that work is not at all glamorous. Sometimes it’s downright weird, or even demeaning. Occasionally it’s dangerous. You very much enter a mindset of “hey, whatever gets the job done” and you just start grabbing anything you can that might be helpful.

If you’re working without budget (and without permission) things can get especially strange. And that’s never more evident than in the world of amatuer photogs trying to bolster their social media presence.

10. Look at these two

That’s a public street, yo.

9. Leaf me alone

I’m actually very curious to see how that shot turned out.

8. Sidewalk saunter

Nobody’s gonna be looking, right?

7. Swing and a miss

Or, hit, as the case may be.

6. Honest Abe

Not really the place, honey.

5. Irony alert

Everybody huddle together now, we don’t want to miss catching this.

4. Seize your opening

“Sir you’re really supposed to wear a shirt in here.”

3. A bridge too far

This is gonna be quite a story for the memorial service.

2. Winds of change

When nature just won’t do her part.

1. Through the roof

Meanwhile I’m getting tickets for rolling to a stop at the sign.

I understand the need to get the shot, but for the love of God, be careful, and be considerate.

What’s the greatest length you’ve gone to in order to snap a picture?

Tell us in the comments.

10 Big Fails in the Name of Getting the Perfect Shot

I’m not big into Instagram or having much of a presence or a “brand” on social media, it’s not something I work to cultivate or think about a whole lot. But for some people, it seems like it’s a way of life. You gotta get the shot, no matter what.

And since necessity is the mother of invention, people get pretty creative – and pretty risky – in their pursuit of grabbing that perfect snap. Love it or hate it, it’s a real part of our world, and the behind the scenes results can be hilarious.

Just check out some of the things you may need to be willing to do in order to truly up your social media game.

10. Get a little wet

It’s so predictable but it’s still so satisfying to watch.

9. Make a scene

I think while we’re still having to follow mask protocols and aisle directions, this should be straight up illegal.

8. Get upside down

You really gotta work as a team.

7. Work the sidewalk

Excuse me…ma’am? I need to get to the bus stop. Ma’am!

6. Stop traffic

This would be a super cool way to die.

5. Go to space

How did you even get that thing, bro?

4. Wiggle that booty

Who wants to see this and why?

3. Catch some waves

Again, predictable and satisfying.

2. Get a little rocky

IT JUST NEVER FAILS!

1. Go up in smoke

We get it, you vape.

Hey man, ya gotta shoot your shot.

How much do you care about your Instagram presence?

This Account Is Dedicated to Funny and Weird Animal Photography

It takes a special eye to be able to capture animals in the wild.

And what you’re about to see is pretty much the complete opposite of the sentence above.

Because these photos all come from a funny Instagram account called “Crap Wildlife” that features, well, photos that really aren’t that impressive.

But they sure will make you laugh! And that’s the most important thing, right?

Darn right!

Let’s take a look at some crappy pics, shall we?

1. I think you interrupted something.

What are you guys up to?

2. How’s this for an extreme close-up?

Getting that mug right up into the camera.

3. I knew someone was stealing my beer!

Looks like we’ve found the culprit.

4. Do you need some help, buddy?

How did you end up in there?

5. A little blurry, but I see what you were going for…

At least I think I do…

6. That darn ear got in the way again.

Other than that, it was a perfect shot.

7. Giving you the double bird.

I wonder what you did to make this crab so angry…

8. You clearly invaded their space.

And they’re here to give you a piece of their mind.

9. Haven’t you ever seen The Birds?!?!

You better run for it!

10. This is very intimidating.

Also, look at how BUFF that kangaroo is.

11. Someone’s at the door, go check it out.

Oh no, not you again!

12. I think I’m looking at a dance-off?

Does anyone else see that?

How about you?

Do you have any examples of weird animal photography that you’ve taken?

Well, don’t keep them to yourself!

Share them with us in the comments. Thanks!

Unleashed Fur is a pet photography company located in Idaho and they do incredible work.

Each photo is totally unique, beautiful, and really gets to the essence of each individual dog.

Which is important, because, if you’re a dog lover, you know how different each pooch really is and how every single one has a great and original personality.

Let’s take a look at the work from Unleashed Fur.

I think you’re going to be very impressed. We know we are! These are great!

1. Running through fields!

Scout looks very happy!

I got to spend some time with Scout this morning in a field of flowers! There is a perfect path to walk between so we didn't smoosh them while doing the photo session ??? I'm doing outdoor photos if you've been thinking about getting a session booked. . . . . . #dogs #dogsofinstagram #boisepetphotographer #instagram #boise #catahoulasofinstagram #puppy #dog #petphotography #petphotographer #catahoulaleoparddog #7pets #ellendegeneres #theellenshow #adoptdontshop #furryfriend #kathrynalbertsonpark #photooftheday #boisephotographer #dogphotoshoot #pawsup #dogphotography #professionalpetphotography #iamboise #dogsarethebest #canonusa #canon #weirddog #dogphotographer #californiapoppies

That is one patriotic pooch.

What a cutie!

Oh, Olive, what will you do next?

Yesterday I got to meet this lovely lady, Serena, and walk through the Oregon forest. Well that's what it felt like anyway with all this rain! She was perfect at posing and is an IDAPI graduate from the Idaho Humane Society. Isn't she beautiful? It was her mom's birthday and this is what she wanted to do as her present. I feel honored to be able to facilitate this gift to her. ???

9. This one is really great.

That’s a dog, not a cow!

10. Bella is a beauty.

Read the caption. Pretty sad.

View this post on Instagram

I was contacted a few days ago by Bella's owner after she received a devastating diagnosis of her beloved dog, who just last week was acting fine. I think many of us know all too well the feeling of one day having a dog who is playful and energetic to one that has limited time. It's a crushing, helpless, punch in the gut. I know there's so much going on in our world right now but please keep Bella and her owner in your thoughts. She was a little tired during her photo shoot but I think we got some really sweet photos for her pretty little face. . . . . . #dogs #dogsofinstagram #boisepetphotographer #instagram #boise #westie #puppy #dog #petphotography #petphotographer #westiesofinstagram #cutedog #ellendegeneres #theellenshow #adoptdontshop #furryfriend #kathrynalbertsonpark #photooftheday #boisephotographer #dogphotoshoot #pawsup #dogphotography #professionalpetphotography #iamboise #dogsarethebest #canonusa #canon #weirddog #dogphotographer #waterfall

Moose is a big, goofy guy.

12. Chief looks very wise.

We could all learn from him.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Wedding Photographer Had the Perfect Response to Bride Wanting to Cancel After Seeing Her Black Lives Matter Post

Twitter heaped support on a photographer who clapped back at a bride demanding a refund of her deposit when she saw the photographer’s Black Lives Matter social media post.

The bride had sent a message to Shakira Rochelle, the photographer she’d contracted for her upcoming wedding. In it, she claimed Rochelle must be “unstable” if she felt like lending her support to the movement and that it would be too “embarrassing” for her to have Rochelle at the wedding. After insisting “all lives matter,” she demanded the return of her deposit.

Here is her Instagram post on her take on Black Lives Matter.

“Shakira Rochelle Photography stands in solidarity with the black community. The black lives matter movement has my endless support,” she wrote.

Twitter user Q first posted Rochelle’s DMs with the bride on Twitter where it went viral.

The first DM is from the bride expressing her disappointment that her wedding photographer decided to stand up for the Black community.

The bride and her fiance simply “can’t bring themselves” to work with a photographer who would do such a thing and questions Rochelle’s mental health.

Rochelle responds with her standard operating procedure which says no refunds for cancellations.

She also thanks the bride for the lovely donation of her deposit to Black Lives Matter.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The bride wrote back, “You will be hearing from our attorney.” For what that’s worth.

Q captioned the viral tweet with, “I love it here.” The tweet so far has been retweeted nearly 200,000 times and has more than one million likes. Q even tweeted Rochelle’s contact information in case anyone would like to book her for their events.

As for the attorney threat…

And as this guy pointed out, so what if the bride is one of those “all lives matter” people and her photographer is choosing to support a hugely marginalized community? Rochelle is a professional service-provider with a human brain that allows her all the free will to think whatever she wants. It has nothing to do with this bridezilla’s wedding.

But the icing on the wedding cake is the gratitude for the donation!

Another excellent point about deposits.

But the outpouring of support for this small-business owner was incredible.

Shekira Rochelle’s Photography can be found here. If you’re needing photography services in Cincinnati, OH, check her availability.

Don’t wait. Everyone wants this talented lady now!
