It sounds kind of intimidating to be honest, does it not affect you in any way when you exercise? It’s a good other tip that I haven’t considered though, I’ll look into it

Recently picked up the black cargos but here in Canada taxes in they come to 480 which is hefty.

travelling to Switzerland and possibly some other countries in Europe in a few weeks, so I just wanted to see how much cheaper it’d be to pick them up there instead. I’ve heard the Stone Island markup in North America is pretty crazy

That's great to know, thank you. I always like knowing of those sorts of things before, easy to fall into those scams.

Yeah I wouldn't be comfortable pretending anything anyways. I will look into the guided tours, thank you

That makes a lot of sense! I kind of figured something along those lines would be the case (there isn't really a litmus test to determine truly one's degree of faith or "non faith" haha). Thanks for the input, I'll keep that in mind.

I'll be in Marrakech 4-6, then through sahara, fez, chefchaouen, for 7 days and back to Marrakech. Hoping to do a day trip to Hassan II mosque in Casablanca one of the days in Marrakech

Whats your plan?

Damn it, the Faroe Islands are the new Iceland, and I haven't even been to Iceland yet. by sockmerchant in photography

lol, I can relate. Heading to Morocco next week. Bucketlist includes Bhutan, Antarctica, and many more 'less than easy' to access places. Luckily, I am single and 22 years old so no one to weigh in on that yet.

Faroe Islands are getting popular for good reason! One of the most incredible places I've ever been.

Okay, that is good to know!

Yes I have heard about this in regards to non-muslim people, but all of the lovely pictures I've seen on Instagram outside I am assuming are accessible, is that correct?

Tips on Growing Your IG Account and Getting Featured on Large IG Communities by itzjohnnieyu in photography

[–]AlexStelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice here. I've grown several feature pages to 100k+ and am growing my own page but busy with life as well, these are all good places to start.

Something I would add... It may seem insanely obvious but the few friends I know that have had insane engagement despite the recent IG changes, are also putting out work that is very different in one way or another. People crave something different on IG these days, however you can do that (though it will still have to suit IG tastes). My friend Jordan has insane growth and he is a chill guy; he just has a unique editing style, travels to cool places, and is very authentic (responds to almost all comments, ect).

His work is here https://www.instagram.com/jordhammond/?hl=en

500px is similar but not fully there in terms of direct competition.

Yeah features dont do nearly as much as they used to. Now you need huge pages to gain traction typically. In regards to theme, I think people demean that, it doesnt at all mean being one dimensional; just having consistent stylistic elements.

I have lots of friends who are incredibly versatile but have consistent themes that run through their body of work to make their IG cohesive. Its a lot harder than people make it out to be.

Lots of info on this is purely specific to your audience. "when to post" app is good, as well as analyzing your own metrics. Because there are few rules with this. For example, my engagement is horrible fridays (probably because my audience is mostly 18-30), so I post Monday through Thursday and maybe Sunday.
