There are animals that seem to love hanging out with photographers and filmmakers. Not all of them are like that though, and this elephant wasn’t afraid to show it. When a girl took her phone out to snap a photo of the beautiful animal, it smacked her and kicked her phone out of her hands. The person who was filming was apparently standing far enough from the elephant, so they managed to capture the incident on camera.

But it seems that the Insta-craze has gone so far, that the company running the plant had to issue an official warning against swimming in it.

It’s called Rock Your Ugly, and it shows real people and shares their stories. They talk about their insecurities and how they’ve faced them and beaten them.

UK magazine uses photo on cover without permission, blames it on a stock photo website
by 1 Comment
A photo of David Lynch by Nadav Kander recently got published on the cover of a UK magazine The Big Issue. It would certainly be fantastic if Kander sold the photo or gave permission to the magazine to use it. Instead, it appears that someone photographed his framed print at an exhibition.
