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.

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

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.
La vie s′en va youtu.be/XDeOJT2Qr9s
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

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 !!!
