...for a chance to be with you / I'd gladly risk it all... - Chaka Khan

  

The feeling of being face to face with New York City is unbelievable!!! Try. You will fall in ❤️ 8.31.18

This week marks 23rd year anniversary since my family moved to Brooklyn 💓 First day in school in September put my head down & started crying. All I could understand was teacher’s greeting & selective words... No special tutors just countless books, dictionaries & absolutely amazing ESL teacher. Hope she’s well today. Fast-forward 6 months science teacher held my exam to speak to me after class. She asked if I cheated bc my grade was highest in class. And while I realize there are not guarantees in life & everything we do has 50/50 chance of success & failure sometimes it can be beneficial to return into the past. Not for nostalgic feelings but rather for memories of younger us & what made us fearless some decades ago

This photo took me forever to post, because I'm scared out of my mind. I don't like posting work I know might not be well-received, and it's especially hard to gamble and put yourself out there with a photograph that you love.

 

This is what I'm doing here.

 

I adore blur-on-purpose. I love it. I think it tells a story that sometimes, fully-focused and properly composed pictures can’t tell; it adds a layer of mystery to a simple capture. I love it, but I know a lot of people don’t. I did, however, figure that I have to be honest with myself and with my art, so here it is. I hope you like it, but if you don’t, it’s alright. I love it, and that’s enough.

I've noticed that when you really love something it's hard to explain why, you just do. Maybe I'll never be able to explain my attachment to this place...

she left this morning for her first day of her junior year. and she drove herself for the first time.

 

i could swear it wasn't so long ago that i was walking her to her first day of kindergarten.

Brake Lights nicely punctuate the city scene blurred with a longer shutter speed and some camera motion (ICM). The city becomes a grid of shapes rising upward - indistinct but retaining some identifiable patterns. Color and light bath the scene in rich hues that contrast warm and cool.

Regardless of the location fall is the most beautiful time of the year 💛

Don’t know what it is about this place but something about it makes me wanna get up to the top & scream at the top of my lungs “I love you” ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Blue hour ICM at Playa Montones

do not fear change

walk forward and embrace it

it's a friend not foe

Ironically it can take a few days to have conversations that matter & twenty years to realize they never happened

If past lives actually existed my soul definitely wasn’t in Soviet Union before 80’s

February dawn - frost

on the path

Where I paced all winter

It's been 22 years with ups & downs, but one thing I know for sure can't imagine living my life without #Brooklyn #NewYork ❤️ Very thankful to this country for giving me hopes & opportunities I would never have had... Ukraine is a birthplace but this is #home ❤️❤️❤️

This weekend, just right before the Broadway show, it really hit me that there’s something different about New York City Saturday night. Seeing the show on Saturday night is different from seeing it at night. Brunch is not the same as late-night (hopefully light) dinner. Everything feels romantic even when it’s not. It’s a different feeling. It’s like the fall where everything is not perfect, almost melancholy, yet it has that romantic feeling that only fall can have—same with NYC Saturday nights.

Paroles et musique: Joël Holmès

 

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Comme il fait doux ce soir, dites-moi

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

J′avais peur que vous ne veniez pas

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

En retard, mais qu′importe, vous êtes là

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

J′aime tant vous avoir près de moi

 

{Refrain:}

La vie s′en va, la vie s′en va

Il ne faut pas la laisser faire

L′amour s′en va, l′amour s′en va

Je t′aime tant, que faut-il faire ?

La vie s′en va, la vie s′en va

La vie nous glisse entre les doigts

Et tu es là et tu es là

Que faut-il faire ? Je ne sais pas

 

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Vous ne pouvez rester qu′un moment

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Je comprends, votre ami vous attend

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Vous vous connaissez depuis longtemps

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Vous l′aimez, bien sûr c′est évident

 

{au Refrain}

 

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Est-il vraiment si beau ? Dites-moi

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Il est plus jeune mais ça ne durera pas

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Il sait parler, moi, je ne sais pas

Et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime et je t′aime

Ne dites pas que vous partez déjà !

 

Ma vie s′en va, ma vie s′en va

Il ne faut pas se laisser faire

Ma vie s′en va, ma vie s′en va

Je t′aime tant, que faut-il faire ?

Et tu t′en vas et tu t′en vas

Toi tu me glisses entre les doigts

Et tu t′en vas et tu t′en vas

Que faut-il faire ? Ne partez pas

Ne partez pas, ne partez pas

 

Life is passing away

 

Words and music: Joël Holmès

 

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

How sweet it is tonight, tell me

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

I was afraid you wouldn't come

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

Late, but who cares, you're here

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

I love having you near me so much

 

{Chorus:}

Life is passing away, life is passing away

We mustn't let it happen

Love is passing away, Love is fading

I love you so much, what should we do?

Life is fading, life is fading

Life slips through our fingers

And you're here and you're here

What should we do? I don't know

 

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

You can only stay for a while

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

I understand, your friend is waiting for you

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

You've known each other for a long time

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

You love him, of course it's obvious

 

{Chorus}

 

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

Is he really so handsome? Tell me

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

He's younger but it won't last

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

He knows how to talk, but I don't

And I love you and I love you and I love you and I love you

Don't say you're leaving already!

 

My life is going, my life is going

We mustn't let it happen

My life is going, my life is going

I love you so much, what should I do?

And you go and you go

You're slipping through my fingers

And you go and you go

What should I do? Don't leave

Don't leave, don't leave

Day 28…..365 days of macro photography with The OM System TG-7 compact camera

My favorite flower to photograph. The lovely bird of paradise. ICM.

IL VoLo concert in Barclays Center was amazing !!!! Out of this world !!! Half of the audience spoke Italian, the other half Russian. At some point I wished I had a plane ticket to Rome, and a train ticket to Napoli. Listening to people speaking Italian evoked many memories !! 😢😢😢

 

I think Italian language is the most beautiful (romantic) language in the world. And Italian music is the most beautiful music in the world ! ❤️ And that Italian temperament !!!! Love it !!!

Once again I left my heart in San Francisco. Planning to go back very soon.

   

I am trying to break your heart

But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

I am trying to break your heart

Disposable Dixie-cup drinking

I assassin down the avenue

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Loves you

I'm the man who loves you
