Street photography is a fascinating way of capturing the essence of society and the urban environment we live in. It's a genre of photography that seeks to document everyday life, the hustle, and bustle of the streets, and the beauty in the ordinary. Street photographers wander the streets with the goal of capturing candid moments, the unplanned and unscripted, preserving them for posterity. They look for the reflection of society and the human condition in the most unexpected places.

The "Street Photographers" Instagram page is a curated collection of candid moments captured from all around the world. The page serves as a window into the daily life of different cities, cultures, and people. It's a platform for up-and-coming photographers to showcase their work, but also for anyone who loves street photography to discover new perspectives, emotions, and moments. The page is constantly updated with new images, each one a small time capsule of a specific moment in time, preserving it for the future.

Back in 2018, an 83-year-old man named Ali Meşe thought he'd lost everything. His house had burned down in a terrible fire, leaving him homeless and without possessions. But one very important thing was saved — his tiny, blonde-furred cat.

We were standing outside, barefoot, as our home and belongings burned in a fire. But, we were all safe, and our two dogs and cats were safe. And neighbors brought my son shoes and a few toys, one brought extra cat food, one brought coffee and breakfast. Quite often, I've found people to be truly wonderful.

Tamra, this happened to you? Holy Sh!t. I'm sorry. Must have been traumatizing, especially for your son. And I guess the photo's and family memories were burnt. Hugs Tamra.

So beautiful. When we had to move at first I couldn't take my kitty and she went to stay with my grandparents. Bonded with my grandfather right away. Grandmother went to ask if she could stay and I told her I could already tell he was just as attached to her as she was to him and I couldn't separate them. A year later my grandmother passed unexpectedly... I feel my kitty, now his helped to get him through some of the worst bits. Thank goodness for companions.🥺

The majority of your stuff can be replaced, with the exception of keepsakes that have sentimental value. So, if my house was burning, my first priority would be to get all the living creatures out first; my husband, my cats, and my dog (in whatever order they present themselves at the time). Then, if there’s opportunity and time, I’ll try to save important papers and sentimental stuff. But all the living beings take priority over the stuff.

This reminds me of that video that will always make me cry where the lady's home was destroyed from a tornado and she was on the news saying she just prayed she and her dog would be okay but she hadn't found her dog and they find him right then 😭😭

Can replace possessions, but not the love between a person and their beloved pet.

Never underestimate what the love and companionship of a pet had on the healing process. They are our family members. The fact that he has his kitty with him will make a big difference in his emotional recovery. Hope the old gentleman was able to find a place to live and that all is well with him, and his cat.

Bored Panda got in touch with Alicja Posłuszna, a hobby photographer from Poland, whose photograph of a kitty looking into a mirror through a window recently went viral after it was featured on the "Street Photographers" Instagram page. The photograph, which depicts a cat staring into a mirror, has a deeper meaning rooted in the famous Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment. As Alicja explains, "The context is the famous Schrödinger's Cat, the association is quite obvious. The role of the observer is taken over by the cat; it decides whether I am alive or not."

As Alicja states, "My style of photography is an expression of my sense of aesthetics, imagination, and courage to be myself through what I show. Thank you to all the observers, as you also create with me through your reception. Together, the meaning emerges."

When asked about her favorite type of photograph, Alicja expresses her love for black and white photography, saying "I love black and white photography for its rawness and depth. The absence of color is what draws my attention and curiosity. Without the distractions of color, the important content can truly shine through."

Alicja's passion for photography is evident in her words and her work. She never feels burnt out, as she explains "I don't take photos out of force, unwillingly, or boredom. Photography is my passion, and I am constantly surprised by the moments when I feel compelled to take my camera in hand and embark on a photographic journey, both outside and within myself. My inspiration doesn't force me to do anything, but it whispers softly in my ear, guiding me in the present moment."

This isn't fat, its ascites. As other pandas have pointed out, it's a medical sign of several things, including organ failure.

For Alicja, the most rewarding part of the creative process is sharing her photographs with others. As she states, "Each stage of my photography process holds its own value for me, but the most rewarding aspect is sharing my creations with others. It's truly beautiful to see my photographs come to life in the eyes of others, as it's through their perspective that the image truly comes alive and photography truly comes to life."

large flock of pterodactyls. That's a bad sign. They're usually solitary.

Only 10 pegs ... less than I would have thought required. However we now need to remove them one by one to find the true minimum. Source - I was the older brother.

This has Toddlers and Tiaras written all over it and I hate every single adult in this picture! Okay, there's only two, but they're both twits if they think this is healthy (the beauty pageant aspect, I mean, not the smokes).
