10 Reasons I’d Rather Have A Dog Than A Boyfriend
Gospel. Every single word.
1. My dog loves me unconditionally
2. My dog is always happy to see me come home

“Puddle Jumper” Photography by Matthew Cortellesi
Congratulations, Matthew! Your pictures are fabulous!
I’ve been on a binge watch of “Human Planet” this week. Not sure how I missed it in 2011 when it came out, but it is certainly anthropologically addictive.

His brilliant photography is taken from a fresh angle through puddles in Union Square. You can follow his feed on instagram matthew_cortellesi or message him to snag a marvelous 15″ X 20″ print.
