I take photos of cafe food. Because I have a coffee blog. I guess that makes me a hipster. But most of the time I don’t want to see photos of your food on Instagram. Unless you’re somewhere really cool. Here’s POHTPOF
Robyn says “I don’t find many things on the Internet funny, but these made me laugh”…
A father takes a photo every time his son cries and records the reason.
