Photo by Monaris, a Puerto Rican photographer based in Edison, NJ and a finalist in the New York City Exhibition, 2025. Follow her @monaris_ Please read the caption below and let us know what you think! “‘Painterly Thoughts’ was captured from the backseat of a taxi in Kolkata on a rainy day. As the city moved past me, the glass turned into a canvas—warping colors, distorting figures, and blending reality into something almost surreal. What first caught my attention was the man’s intense gaze in the rearview mirror, a quiet contrast to the chaotic scene outside. The rain, the reflections, the movement. Everything merged into a fleeting composition that felt more like a painting than a photograph. This image is about that in-between space, where everyday moments become something more, shaped by light, texture, and time.” #womenstreetphotographers #littleboxcollective #documentinglife #lensculturestreets #unexp_collective
the pyramids no matter how many photos or videos you’ve seen, nothing compares to being there. every angle, every corner, every shift in light makes them feel different. ancient, quiet, massive. it’s like they’ve been watching the world change. @experienceegypt | @amchamegypt #VisitEgypt #ExperienceEgypt #amchamegypt

Egypt isn’t just ancient temples and pyramids…it’s light hitting stone in a way you’ve never seen before. It’s the sound of the call to prayer echoing through busy streets, the quiet moments in between. There’s a rhythm here that pulls you in. And once you feel it, it stays with you. @experienceegypt @amchamegypt #VisitEgypt #ExperienceEgypt #amchamegypt #turkishairlinesegypt
