The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Pushkin Park Metrobus Station







"Have I outlasted all Desire, and My Dreams Have I grown apart; My Grief is left alone Entire, gleamings The Heart of an empty. The storms of ruthless Dispensation Have Struck My Flowery Garland numb, I Live in Desolation Lonely And Wonder When My end Will Come. Thus on a Naked Tree-Limb, Blasted By tardy Winter's chill Whistling,
A single leaf Which Has outlasted Its season Will be Still trembling. "
 - Alexander Pushkin

New York Light V



is not famous. It may be that he never will be.

It may be that when his life at last comes to an end
he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water. 
But it may be that the way of life that he has chosen for himself and the peculiar strength and sweetness of his character
may have an ever-growing influence over his fellow men so that, long after his death perhaps, it may be realized that there lived in this age a very remarkable creature.

New York Light IV









Make Beautiful Manifesto

I am the creator, maker of moments,
Fighter of what I want versus what is expected of me.
I believe beauty is found in imperfections.
Every situation is an opportunity to capture beauty.
Today I open my eyes onto the world.
Embrace that it will become what I make it.
A place that has purpose.
Where stories inspire me to capture them.
It's time to share. Make the world right.
Make the world a work of art. 
Make Beautiful.

Share your photos from Hipstamatic to either Twitter or Instagram with the tag #makebeautiful to get them into the stream. To read the Make Beautiful manifesto, and for more info on posting, click here.
