#EDITORSPICK
When life hands us a cheeseburger, we devour it. When life hands Jeremy Kirkpatrick a cheeseburger, he takes the time to enjoy the beauty of it first and then he shares it with the world. It is for this reason that Jeremy has a lot more friends than us. It is also the reason that we handed our Instagram over to him for our very first Instagram takeover.
