I'm finishing this year with a series of never before published portraits and some other photos. I'm glad 2k14 is finally over. I'm heading to the beach in a few days and I'll be back only in february with a lot of new photos. We don't have internet access at the beach and I won't take my computer with me anyways.
Thank you so much for all the comments, faves and views I got this year, I hope y'all have a nice holiday and I hope 2k15 will bring us more photos, more creativity and more love.
Thanks a lot.
Happy new year!
Times Square, NYC
I always wonder what do people feel when they walk on the streets of Manhattan at night ? Are they happy, sad, searching for someone, for something. Are they loved, lonely, rejected ? Maybe they just received a promotion, or maybe failed at something ? Maybe it was a big shot who walked few seconds before me, or maybe an immigrant, or a tourist. This city sees more diversity in a minute than some places in a year. New York City aka Alpha City aka World City. My New York.
Someone said to me today that I’m lucky because I travel a lot, and when she compares our Instagrams how different our lives our... Yes, I love to travel, and yes it means a lot to me. But I see my mom & grandparents every day, and they are my world.
And every time I travel I count minutes till I see them again. And I can’t sleep at night because I’m terrified that my grandfather will call again @ 2am. And how bad I wish I could take my mom & grandparents with me to show them what I love about Italy & San Francisco. My idea behind sharing the places i love is not to have anyone to compare our lives but rather to show how beautiful & interesting the world around us is & how we must love & appreciate every second !!! 💛
Since I was a kid i have always believed in magic. When I was eight or nine years old my friend asked where would I like to live. After watching 'Santa Barbara', America of course ! Every night (and my family still remembers this) I saw the same dream. I was in a cab at night passing by incredibly beautiful streets, surrounded by bright lights. Leaving a car I walked into a restaurant where no one could speak my language. All signs were in foreign language, I was no longer in Ukraine. Months after our conversation my mom got sick, and my dad kicked me out of the house to stay with grandparents. Economically my country's situation was getting worse and worse. No food in stores, no light, no gas, no hot water. One day I refused to study, because at 11 I decided it's useless to get education in a place where people did not get paid for 6 months (teachers, doctors, pharmacist). Being only 11 I could not help but think about the future (if I had any). Every day just hung around with older guys and girls, cursing like a sailor. I think being a kid, I hit the lowest of the low. And then we got papers to move to New York. I was so overwhelmed by the opportunity life has given me, that I started to become someone I didn't think I could be. When slowly I started to become one of my teacher's fav in Junior High, no one knew I was nothing but a troubled kid pulling myself out of the gut. And to this day I believe if you want something and believe in something strong enough it will come true.
One thing I’ve learned over the years (and I have failed in life as many times as succeeded) & unfortunately something I didn’t realize 2 decades ago #lifeisbeautiful

For years that was (and still is) my favorite place on the island. Lighthouse, emptiness, shallow water 💙
I’m a cheater !!! Any time when I have to do any chores, errands or work STOP & enjoy what’s around me. Otherwise life is way too overwhelming 🌸🌸🌸
I hope everyone's holiday season will be filled with beauty and miracles, which are not too hard to find, regardless of where you are ! :)
One beautiful star fell down
Straight on my hand,
I asked her; From where are you?
Oh, let me rest for sometime? My friend,
I was flying from distant afar...
Don't think I'm tiny and weak,
Many great things I can do
Just remember your most important wish
And I'll make it come true.
I know what I want
No need to think long
I want to love and be loved
My mommy be well and not ill
And only stars from the sky above
Can come on planet green.
