#OutlawsofInstagram

Deborah Sussman’s vibrant career, outlaw Instagrammers, the truth about yawning and more in our look at the web this week

We’ve all seen #RichKidsofInstagram and #CatsofInstagram, but all other square images pale in comparison to the double-tap worthy work of those risking life, limb and the threat of the police for their shots. The so-called Outlaw Instagrammers scale bridges, skyscrapers and pretty much any space in NYC that’s off limits, all for Insta-glory. A community has cropped up in New York where rivals vie for the most high-risk (not to mention beautiful) shots in the city. The results are nothing short of spectacular and the stories behind the images are equally compelling.

COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
