Here we are 15 years later in the city that broke us apart, and I managed to capture one of those most fascinating events in NYC beside the ball dropping in Time Square on New Years Eve. Who knew we would get to this point? I spend 15 year looking for someone like you, and failed miserable. I have to be honest…I loved him because he reminded me of you. He smiled, walked and danced like you.  I loved him, even though he never deserved me, and then you came back into my life, and aside from the two wars, and the failed relationships we both have had, you’ve always chosen me.

Our love is complicated, but it has always been kind. And being here with you has made these last 15 years worth it. I am happy to have had this moment with you in this beautiful city, during this time of year, capturing this magical sunset which doesn’t come every day.  These are once in a life time moments, and I am glad the memory of you will be behind this picture always.

Here it is, the view that will be my company for the rest of the year. I had booked a trip for all the seasons of 2016, and I can’t wait to share all the pictures with you. The cornicles are over at IG @The_Last_Trane. For those of you who recognize the name, kudos to you for being a jazz guru, and for those who are less knowledgeable about jazz, here you go…enjoy!

I didn’t realize how much I took the sun for granted. I put away the curtains in my room to make sure I didn’t forget to appreciate the morning sun.  I also put away the alarm clock once I realized. I had been waking up before the sun made its way through the morning clouds.. Many times I found myself admiring it from my bed during lazy Sunday afternoons. Who needs romance when you have the sun?

Never seen a sun shine like this …

 

 

I Waited ’til I Saw the Sun

When was the last time you saw the sunrise or the sunset? I encourage you to go at once. Get up tomorrow and catch the sunrise, and before you go home catch it setting. It revives you like nothing else especially after your heart’s been broken, which you forget about once you take a good picture.

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin’ in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn’t tempt us if it tried
‘Cause the afternoon’s already come and gone…

Like Hope, There Comes the Sun

They say protect yourself from the sun because it causes cancer. There were times where I preferred a sun burn over cupids horrible aim. Interesting how during the most  numbing moments of my life, I managed to still capture some of  its greatest gifts. I believe this is what HOPE looks like.

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands.
