This week we are looking back at some inspiring stories in 2014 from around the Instagram community. Today, it’s the images from Texas-based photographer Lauren Marek (@laurenmarek), whose account was featured here on July 21. “I've always been fascinated with astronauts, space travel, and science fiction,” says Lauren, who made this image for the Weekend Hashtag Project #whpspacedreams. “We covered an old football helmet in tinfoil, made a hot light into a planet, and shined a light behind a curtain to look like space. I really love this photo because it reminds me of being a kid and dreaming big. It's a reminder to keep dreaming.” Photo by @laurenmarek
