Photographer Annalisa Hartlaub in her project “Counter // Culture,” 16-year-old captures all the mainstream and countercultural movements that have defined the last 10 decades. According to PolicyMic for this project she herself poses like a model, taking clothes she already owned and employing filters that would have matched the technology of each era.

Jennifer Still of hellogiggles featured this photo project by Duke University’s LGBT group called “You Don’t Say” to raise awareness among students of the abusive language they are using and becoming the norm in their age group. Duke photographed students holding signs with words they find offensive which can be problematic to those who are unaware of it.
