Would you like to see yourself and your tattoos in a future issue of Cult of Self Magazine?

Then free your skin and take a photo of yourself because for #YourINK – Part I we’re searching for the best tattoos with the most inspiring meaning. This can be a view of the world, a symbol of belonging, a manifestation of your passion, a memory of love – but most importantly – a true expression of self! The ‘protagonist’ of the best submission will win a professional shoot by tattoo devotee Luke Daniel – who we interviewed in the latest issue – as well as being featured in an upcoming editorial. You’ll also get a large-format print to take home!

The Brief

*Please read the brief carefully to stand a chance to win

Submissions should be photos of yourself, taken by you or a friend, and – most importantly – they should show off your ink. We’d also like you tell us who the tattoo artist was, what country/city it was done in, when it was done and – of course – what the story behind it was! All the images will be featured in a submission gallery on Cult of Self and viewers can vote for the ink they want to see featured in the magazine. Once selected, a shoot will be arranged with the winner of the poll and photographer Luke Daniel, which will feature in an upcoming editorial. And to make things exciting for everyone, there’ll be a main prize for voters, the best story and, of course, the winner of the poll who will appear in an upcoming issue.

Share and submit images via:

250gram Competition | Winners

one small seed — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:35:18 +0000

250gram is a new tech start-up that allows you to print your favourite selection of Instagrams on polaroid-styled paper. Two weeks ago, one small seed collaborated with 250gram to create an exciting competition where we called for all savvy Instagrammers to capture cool things or fun moments and share them with us.

Image: 250gram.com

Thank you to everyone for your entries – we have had an amazing response! Here are our lucky winners, winning one of five 250gram vouchers, each for 20 Instagram prints valued at R115! Congratulations Chanel, Carryn, Este, Juan and Deni!

COMPETITION: 250gram | Worth its Weight in Instagrams

one small seed — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 07:16:26 +0000

250gram is a new tech start-up that allows you to print your favourite selection of Instagrams on polaroid-styled paper. Named after the 250gsm high quality paper they use to print on, the idea has been readily welcomed by the city’s Instagramming community. If you’re a savvy Instagrammer with a good eye for capturing cool things or fun moments, read on to find out how to win one of five vouchers for 20 Instagram prints from 250gram.

Gradually over the last decade, the world happily began accepting digital cameras over the classic 35 mm film. Our family albums halted progression, forever stuck at the awkward years and abandoned to gather dust on some obscure shelf back at home. As with the swift replacement of floppy disks and projector slides with CDs and USBs, so it seems that social media has sneakily over-ridden the need for printing photographs. Undeniably, snap-happy smartphone users are ushering in an entirely new era of photography – so much so that in 2013, ‘selfie’ was made the official Oxford dictionary’s word-of-the-year. Now all you need to do is upload an image on your favourite social platform and wait to see how many ‘likes’ you will get. It’s much more about marketing yourself and much less about selecting memories.

So is the printed photograph passé? Well, not necessarily. Print is timeless – there will always be people who prefer paper over pixel. Perhaps realising this, in January 2014, a team of creatives may well have set out on the first step to bring print back into popular use. Hello, 250gram.

This Cape Town-based tech start-up lets you print your favourite Instagrams on polaroid-styled paper. When you consider that there are currently 150 million active users on Instagram — 680 000 of which are found in South Africa — that’s a fair starting target market. 250gram works as follows — you log in on their website using your Instagram account details. From there, you choose the photos you want printed and then have them couriered to your door in fun packaging. Fittingly, the high-quality prints come in a Polaroid format, which hark back to the +VSCO Cam/ Afterlight favoured filters that have made Instagram so popular. At R4 a shot (with a minimum of 20 prints) and a courier fee of R35, 250gram is selling an upmarket product in a quirky and relatively accessible way. Elementary my dear boy, but brilliant.

The company’s success probably stems from the fact that the concept has been done so right. Following closely in the digital footsteps of companies such as Yuppiechef, 250gram has prioritised a strong online presence and an engaging customer service. Cleverly, 250gram have also spotted the desire for social photography and instant printing, offering their second service called #SocialPrinting, specifically aimed at catering to brands and companies. Yup, ‘hashtag location-based printing’ is a thing now. While the risk of a tech start-up like this is that it may be short-lived — Instagram could lose millions of users just like Facebook has in recent years — the truth is that 250gram is feeding into a need that has arisen in the social media era: reality.

HOLI Festival Of Colours: What it´s all about

The HOLI Festival takes place on the day of the full moon of the Phaluga month and is one of the most famous celebrations in the northern parts of India. At this Hindu-Festival people celebrate the victory of the good over the bad and the beginning of the spring.

The special feature is that the people paint themselves with various colours and throw colourful powder in the air to express the freedom and to colour their everyday life. The most important thing is, that on this day all castes of the indian caste-system are nullified and put out of force. On this day of celebration all people are supposed to be equal!
