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.

Out of the Ocean

I survived my first summer after the storm. The possibilities of it arriving one day, and that I would love it was like a figment of someone else’s imagination. Then summer came, and it felt like an old friend, whom I had not seen in so long, and I remembered the line from a song by one of my favorite artist “Give your heart and change your mind, you’re allowed to do it, cause God knows it’s been done to you and somehow you got through it” and just like that forgiveness came in, and I knew that I was going to be OK after all.

I took to the great outdoors  like a Howard Deutch movie. As if I had been out in the wild all my life, and I knew exactly how to survive in it.  I was a natural at kayaking, snorkeling and paddle boarding, forgetting that it was my first time. I made sure to ignore the phone all day until this beauty showed on my way home.  Space is beautiful, time is a blessing and sunsets are what dreams are made of.

It’s a pretty day let’s go outside and enjoy it
If you got something else in mind then I’m all for it..

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…

Party of Five.

party-of-5

The best parts of life are the ones we never dreamt of, you know those moments we never thought would happen in a million years, and then you’re back to being strangers.

The instant when someone throws in the towel on all your dreams –because they only mattered to you, no one else, and you sigh, not because holding it in would destroy you, but because you have accepted deep down that it was truly the best thing anyone holding you back could’ve done.

Sometimes it’s easy to throw on some sweats and fade, and then there are moments like this sunset where you take a deep breath, and know it was truly a blessing to be left behind.

Why dontchu tell me why you fear,
getting closer to me, tell me ’cause I’d like to know…If I make you feel vulnerable?
