I was always someone who overlooked the importance of focusing on details, the importance of noticing parts that make up a whole.

Just to make the point. My name is Patricia - for those of you who use my name please note I absolutely HATE 'Pat' - I agree that typing Patricia is a bit of a fingerful........but just call me 'P' if you find typing an ordeal - I would much prefer it. Thank you so much. :-)
One of the oldest joints on Sheepshead Bay & my personal favorite. They have amazing pasta, tasty tomato sauce with just enough garlic. And I can go far for good tomato sauce, cheese & garlic... Sheepshead Bay... one of my fav places in Brooklyn from May till it gets cold
"The happiness literature has identified one of the most deeply satisfying human psychological states to be one called 'flow". It occurs when you are so immersed in an activity that you lose track of time. If you can land a job that enables you to experience substantial periods of flow, you will be among the most fortunate people on the planet." - Robert H. Frank economics professor at Cornell University

I'm a big Sunday Times junkie
I have mixed feelings about today, especially when I think back to July 7, the day I walked down the subway bridge to the boardwalk. It's a bittersweet feeling, a blend of happiness and enduring sadness, particularly now that thirty years have passed in what feels like just one day. I'm not sure any words can fully express my emotions surrounding this day. I love you! Whatever that means to you and me. ❤️ P.S. The sun kept fighting with clouds, and I loved the contrast.
My mom asked why to learn how to make pasta from scratch when it can be purchased in the store & be thrown into water. The answer is simple bc it's not interesting & not good enough for me just to throw something into the water
A little extra shutter time and some ICM (intentional camera movement), give fluid motion to this simple city walk. Light and color tones define shapes - real and implied - adding energy and visual interest to what would otherwise be sort of ho-hum. Well anchored on the horizontal with the short walls, it leaves the rest of the image to indulge in altered reality.

Sometimes I wonder if people actually change or we just get wiser. And values we held as young adults eventually change through experiences & years
When I was younger tried to hold on to something that was about to slip away... but life is too short to grasp something that doesn't want to stay 🍂🍁🍁
Today is the last day of the exhibit, and while I respect the rule of ‘no photos’ really wanted to go back & take notes... My first thought was to post an image of his face, but then felt ‘nah’ !!! He was more than just a face. This abstract photo is a ceiling inside one of the exhibition rooms (and yes I got an official permission to photograph) ... This is exactly how I felt being there & at the same time it made me think of the lyrics: planet earth is blue / and there’s nothing I can do
What I personally found to be fascinating is not just his music but his talent for 'oblique strategies' to be inspired by absolutely everything around him; music, architecture, philosophy, other artists, Jack Kerouac, film, costume designs, beat poets and etc. Catalyst for inspiration could be anything & that passion for life made him unique.
Just a little EXTRA INFO: his first single Liza Jane with King Bees failed to make the charts. First album released in 1967 was not a commercial success. Failture with hard work & imagination is reversible
Accidentally deleted :( Repost. Just as happy just being here as traveling far away. No, now I know for sure, even happier, because home is home
Arthur Miller (October 17, 1915 - February 10, 2005) was a prolific American playwright, essayist, and prominant figure in twentieth-century American theatre. He grew up in Gravesend, Brooklyn. Not far from where I grew up.
What I find amazing about Brooklyn (nights) is that you can make a turn & find something extraordinary just around the #corner ... #booksaremagic 3.22.19 💖
What is love ? Before I always thought it’s a wild emotion. But no ! Love is when you can share the real you with another person. It is not who you can be loud with, but rather just sit in silence, which sometimes can speak louder than any words. The scariest part in life is not to be alone, but to feel alone with another person.
Now after cutting some work hrs, will have more time to enjoy places I love. And it feels awesome :)
Love this place. Endless inspiration. Have to tear myself out every time I’m here. Please someone drag me out of here because I have things to do & lost track of time !

Fact about me : I can’t sit ! I can’t be in one place ! I only sit when I read, study or work On the computer. Other times I must be doing something. I wake up at 6am almost every day even on days off, and after that can’t stop moving. Maybe this is why I weight 95 lbs and nowadays for the past year barely exercise more than 30 min 4 times a week. Never took any fitness classes in my life. My body or my brain is in constant motion non-stop. Tried meditation nothing works. It’s worse then when I was a teenager. Have adrenaline rush 24 / 7 & one of the things I really don’t like about myself is that I talk too much & wear my heart on the sleeve. Been trying to train myself to be different & all attempts failed. How many times did I tell myself to shut the h... up !

28/52 I'm very inspired by the in-camera effects that Lara Jade and Jeremy Cowart create. Loving an image on your tiny camera display already is kind of the best :).
(Also, damn you flickr sharpening!!)

I created a tumblr to collect all the beautiful artistic self-portraits that are out there: not-a-selfie.tumblr.com/
On July 7, 1995 just 20 days before my birthday I got the best birthday present... my family moved to #NYC. Have a #good weekend 💛🍷🌞
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly if you kill your self-esteem,
when you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly if you become slave of your habits
Walking every day on the same paths... If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colors or you do not speak to those
you don't know.
You start dying slowly if you avoid to feel passion & it's turbulent emotions, those that make your eyes glisten & your heart beat fast.
You start dying slowly when you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love, or with your surroundings.
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime
to run away from sensiable advice.
-- Pablo Neruda
