The magic of photography has the ability to capture society at its very best and very worst.
We’re only human, and sometimes humans make mistakes and later have regrets. Luckily, we also sometimes manage to capture the exact moment in which this regret swarms us, making for a permanent reminder of our screw ups to be laughed at for all time.
