HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights June 13, 2025

I met her when everything else in my life was falling apart The bookings had stopped coming in. My rent was long overdue. A major wedding client ghosted me after I spent hours in the blazing sun capturing every moment of their big day. I climbed chairs, squatted in tight spaces, shot like my life depended on it ...

Sarah jumped down from the cab, and quickly paid the driver, thrill rising in her veins. She couldn't wait to attend the party. Her friends were inside waiting for her. As she stepped into the small room, the garish neon lights illuminated the place, then, the scents of alcohol filled the air ...

Paying the account I am going to tell this story by changing some names and praying that the gods have mercy on all of us. I was 16 years old when, like every afternoon since I was 13, I went to my best friend's house who lived several blocks from my house. That afternoon, my friend Jeny passed me the container of soup and asked me to pass her a piece of towel that was hanging on the back of a chair: "So what did the teacher tell you"? Jeny asked me as she wiped the traces of soup around the mouth of Mrs. Carmen, her mother ...

I was among those who never believed in karma — until it stood face to face with me. It was in 2023, in our face me I face you compound in Akwa Ibom State. That year marked my first semester at the University of Uyo as a final year student. It was a choked up experience ...

Wow, it has been over a few months since I wrote on the Neo Xian City prompt. I am glad to be among the participants writing this prompt. What is the fun experience I have had this year thus far? That would be two things in particular: First is the Luanti Minetest game ...

It's always a pleasure for me to participate in Hive's Mobile Photography Contest! It's a place to explore and share what we can capture with our own mobile phones. If you want to give it a try, just check out this post by @untilwelearn and let your creativity fly. Today I'll share some images of friends I met along the way on an afternoon hike, and I'm really excited about the results I achieved, even though they're just amateur photos ...

Hello friends ! Welcome to my blog again. I am so glad that you are here. Hope you all are good and enjoying yourself ...

INTRODUCTION TO HIVE Hello Hive Community! I’m new here and would love to start by appreciating my good friend @samostically for introducing me to this amazing platform. He’s been instrumental in my onboarding process, helping me take the first steps with confidence. I believe Hive is a great opportunity for me to grow, connect with inspiring people, and truly engage with a vibrant, supportive community ...

Hey Everyone! ! In today’s world, happiness has slowly become a relative emotion. It’s no longer about how you feel within — it’s about how your life looks in comparison to someone else’s ...

What are foothills you might ask? Well it is a transitional area between flatter prairies and Mountainous terrain. This is where all the fun begins, saying goodbye to flatness (thinks city areas) and hello to adventure. This fall is certainly not that tall, due to its location in the foothills ...

Hello Black and White Hive friends! ... Taking photos on the streets of my neighborhood is like therapy for me. Each step is a break from the hustle and bustle of my routine, each click is a way of expressing my feelings, showing my perspective, it is a way of showing what I feel and what I think ...

Entry to monomad Challenge As the saying goes: "To eat fish, you have to get wet" (or buy it at the market 😁). Something similar happens with street photography: if you want to take it, you have to go for a walk, sometimes for hours, to get photos that meet your expectations. I didn't do anything different during my stay in Valencia. I grabbed an all purpose lens like the Canon 24 105 zoom and went hunting ...

Construction site Amsterdam. I had a cracked car windshield and had it replaced today. To kill the time I made a walk and noticed this nice backlight situation ...

Headed to Chinatown to meet my ex colleagues for lunch recently. Went by MRT train and got out of the station. 最近去唐人街和以前的同事们吃午饭。坐地铁出站。 Walked further and turned right. 继续往前走，然后右转。 Saw a new Starbucks there ...

Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest . I confess that this menu is new to me, if I ever went to a bar, hehe, I don't remember, so I preferred to do a little research to know what recipe I could prepare. That's the good thing about these contests, that each topic leads us to learn something new ...

If you plan a trip to Southern Spain, where you want to check out some great historic places and research a very rich heritage, the best time to do it is already over... 😃 I mean, you can visit whenever you want, but going there in summer is the best time to go to the beach... Not great for rambling around open air castles or streets, where you will probably get sunburnt! We began to practice these New Year getaways when you want to check out new places and get familiar with a certain city or area ...

The title pretty much says it all. I'm burned out on street photography. Simple as that. I no longer want to just capture the essence and spontaneity of everyday moments without a deeper purpose ...

Hello Hiver in Black And White Community My entry this time is some pictures of black and white Photos Last week was Eid al Adha for all Muslims around the world. Eid al Adha is also called the day of sacrifice. The sacrifice in question is slaughtering livestock to be distributed to the poor and also to residents who need it. This is also repeated every year ...

In any context, for this occasion, I focused on capturing some or all of the silhouettes of people, trying to find that contrast between the subject and a well lit background. This is usually very useful when the light is against it, depending on the camera position. However, at that moment, the natural lighting, due to the position of the sun, wasn't against it, but rather slightly perpendicular to it due to the time of day. Therefore, sometimes I take advantage of bright backgrounds that reflect light and create that effect against the subject ...

Visit to The Tibrón sector, an agricultural area of the Libertador Municipality. Caracas – Venezuela. Antes que nada, cordiales saludos a los miembros de comunidad de photo essay, al igual que a todos mis lectores habituales, el día de hoy, quiero compartir con ustedes, unas imágenes de un sector agrícola, muy cercano al Junquito en el Municipio Libertador, llamado el Tibrón. First of all, warm greetings to the members of the photo essay community, as well as to all my regular readers, today, I want to share with you, some images of an agricultural sector, very close to the Junquito in the Libertador Municipality, called The Tibrón ...

I love pink flowers so much. There are a lot of pink flowers around us. In the first picture I presented beautiful Jarul Flower or you can also call it pride of India. It is a gorgeous summer flower ...

I found out about this contest from @melinda010100 post that was shared two weeks ago. In the post, she said that there was an interesting contest being held in this community with the theme "pink" and I was immediately interested in joining it. At first, I was a bit confused thinking about whether my cellphone would cooperate in capturing a pink subject. Because that color is not a color that is easily captured by my cellphone ...

Hola a los amigos de la comunidad de @holos lotus. Teniendo en cuenta la cercanía a la fecha en la que se celebra el dia de los padres, quiero aprovechar la iniciativa de @iriswrite para comentarles mi experiencia con mi papá. Mi padre siempre ha sido muy cercano a mi. Desde que tengo memoria ha sido mi compañero de juegos, ha sufrido mis inquietudes tempranas por la peluquería y fue mi mejor modelo para los peinados que surgían de mi imaginación ...

Buen día, feliz miércoles para todos. Escribir es una gran herramienta para plasmar palabras y que estas perduren en el tiempo. Escribir en una plataforma como Hive, también es una forma de hacer que las palabras perduren y no solo eso, es también una forma de multiplicar las ideas y de esparcir información. Pues yo quiero plasmar y hacer que perdure en el tiempo la siguiente información: Tengo un padre maravilloso que me ama y me protege con la fuerza de un Caimán ...

Editado en Canvas/ edited in Canvas Les envio un cordial saludo a todos aquellos hivens que forman lo parte de esta prestigiosa comunidad @holo lotus, hoy me gustaría compartir con todos aquellos lectores, sobre este tema de suma importancia que está abarcando y atacando de una manera cruel a nuestros niños y jóvenes, y que muchas veces prefieren callar ante tantas amenazas y la falta de atención de los mayores incluyendo nuestros padres. En los pasillos de cada escuela, bajo el disfraz de la cotidianidad, a menudo se esconde una sombra persistente llamado el bullying. No es un mero conflicto infantil, ni una etapa pasajera de la adolescencia; es en su esencia más cruda, un patrón sistemático de agresión que erosiona la dignidad y el bienestar de quienes lo sufren, más allá de los números y las estadísticas que intentan cuantificar su alcance, el bullying se manifiesta en miradas que duelen más que los golpes, en susurros que despojan la autoestima y en exclusiones que aíslan a los niños, niña y adolescentes. Es una realidad que nos interpela, que exige nuestra atención y nuestra acción, porque el silencio ante esta forma de violencia no hace más que alimentar su perniciosa expansión ...

1000 victories Remco Evenepoel rode a magnificent time trial today in the Dauphiné. Over 17,4 Km he was 21 seconds faster than Jonas Vingegaard and 49 seconds faster than Tadej Pogacar. As a bonus he even took the yellow jersey. It was the 1000th victory for his team, a massive landmark in cycling! ...

]( ▶️ When we organize a bike ride, we always take as a reference, a town, a bar, a warehouse, a village, a field, the house of a famous person, etc.. And this place where we went with my friend Alejandro, was on my to do list, as I have always been told about it, but because it was far away I never managed to go. So, to fulfill this pending, we went. Today Argentina Monolith to Juan Repeto ...
