✏️ The Spotlight Effect
The spotlight effect is the psychological phenomenon by which people tend to believe they are being noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one’s own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others is uncommon…

🔗 Humans of New York: https://www.humansofnewyork.com
Humans of New York began as a photography project in 2010. The initial goal was to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers on the street, and create an exhaustive catalogue of the city’s inhabitants… Somewhere along the way, I began to interview my subjects in addition to photographing them. And alongside their portraits, I’d include quotes and short stories from their lives."

📷 Assorted IPAs
Assorted IPAs on display at Just Tap'd in downtown Macon, GA. I'm not a huge IPA fan. It's too bitter for me. But these colorful can designs caught my eye. The names are great, too - Rollin’ in the Haze, Psychedelic Rabbit, Rye Charles, and Hop Dang Diggity. 🍺
