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.

  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
