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.

New York Light II

Malcolm X Blvd & Central Park North

Museum of The City of New York

  Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, 

too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,

but to add color to my sunset sky.

“Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”

~Orson Welles 

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”

~Gore Vidal 

“Style is a simple way of saying complicated things”

~Jean Cocteau

“I discovered that what's really important for a creator isn't what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it is we want to say, recall, regret, or rebel against. No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.”

~Federico Fellini
