Centering in on Architecture with @_f7

To see more photos and videos from Yoshito, follow @_f7 on Instagram.

"My job is to create things, which is probably why I find manmade objects more interesting than things in nature," says Kanagawa Instagrammer Yoshito Hasaka (@_f7). Working as an application designer in a Tokyo-based company, Yoshito is constantly inspired by the cityscape and the constructions of various shapes and sizes that fill the city. On Instagram, he likes to challenge himself to fit as many details from a building as he can into one small square photo. “I am not a professional in architecture or photography, but when I put myself in the shoes of the people who created the space, I can make my own interpretation of where the most appealing point of the scene is intended to be.”

Yoshito likes to keep the building front and center when shooting architecture. He finds a point that cuts straight through a given space and aims to bring the vanishing point to the center while capturing the entire scene. “I naturally find myself shooting from the front of things,” explains Yoshito. “I want to preserve that towering, enclosing impression of buildings, and I think I can best express that by looking at them straight from the front.”

Tumblr Tuesday: GRAMMY Winners Edition

The GRAMMYs Viewing music awards in GIF form is captivating and shows just how unnecessary sound has become in our lives.

Lorde She hates weird, old guys at airports who hassle her to sign Ebay-bound Lorde merch. Her ask box is open for all of your pressing questions about her two new GRAMMYs.

Vampire Weekend Dracula. Nosferatu. Count Chocula. This list of vampires has nothing to do with either the band that won Best Alternative Album of the Year or their official Tumblr.

Snarky Puppy Snarky Puppy & Lalah Hathaway won Best R&B Performance and would have won for Best Band Name had the category existed. Check their blog for beautiful photos and videos of their recent performances.

Alicia Keys We could make a tired joke about this girl being on fire after winning Best R&B Album, but we respect ourselves and you more than that.

Saving the Elephants on Instagram

For more photos and videos from inside the elephant sanctuaries, explore the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Elephant Nature Park location pages.

Each year, an estimated 35,000 elephants are lost to poaching. In Africa alone, the elephant population has been reduced to less than half its size in 30 years as poachers seek to harvest their tusks to support illegal ivory trade. If unstopped, this rate could lead to extinction within the next 10 years.

In Nairobi, Kenya, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (@dswt) has established the Orphan’s Project. At their conservation refuge, volunteers take in and raise baby and adolescent elephants that have been orphaned after their parents have been poached. To date, the project has successfully recovered and raised over 150 orphaned elephants and reintroduced them successfully into the wild.

The Elephant Nature Park in Northern Thailand’s Chiang Mai provides similar refuge for Asian elephants. The organization rescues distressed elephants—elephants who have been abused by handlers or subject to damaging work conditions—and rehabilitates them within their sanctuary. They also stand as an important ecotourism destination where tourists and volunteers can come to interact with and learn about wildlife in responsible, constructive ways.
