p.s. i live it like i mean it! and sometimes capture it on 35mm… opening shot from the latest roll taken with my Canon AE-1 Program and Kodak TRI-X 400 film!
enjoy!
learn from the past, live in the present, let the future be…
p.s. final installment from the latest roll taken with my Soviet LOMO Smena 8M and Kodak 400 Tmax film. as i continue to learn from experimenting with my film cameras, i find inspiration in every present moment, and hope to grace you with more 35mm goodness in the near future…
enjoy!
take it or leave it…
p.s. in the spirit of keeping an open mind, i invite you to sample the following excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 77:
“Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties were,
Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste,
The vacant leaves thy mind’s imprint will bear,
And of this book, this learning mayst thou taste.”
enjoy!
lomo-graff-y corner…
enjoy!
urban vertigo…
enjoy!
Yogi toes inspired double exposure…
p.s. humbly introducing my handful of favorites from my second ever roll taken with the infamous Soviet LOMO Smena 8M and Kodak 400 Tmax film! my sole confession: as much as i attempted to intentionally experiment with double exposure this time around, all but the above, which ironically enough was completely unplanned (stemming from honestly forgetting to wind the film after the first exposure), failed to produce any sustainable results. the lesson? trust the tools of the trade unconditionally, surrender your creativity to film and let go of expectations!
enjoy!
grounding down…
p.s. ironic how I perceive the last three months of my life as encompassing more dramatic changes and surges of wisdom than the past decade. never mind that I received a high school diploma followed by a college degree, bought my first car, went back to visit the country of my birth, gained nine years of marketable occupational experience, learned to take care of my very first dependent: my dog, and weathered through the trials and tribulations of several relationships; all of the above fails to even come close to the positive transformation I encountered from immersing myself in my newfound Yoga practice! so, as I ground down and continue to actively strive to achieve inner balance, I am determined to enjoy every present moment from wherever I happen to be standing!! namaste :)
enjoy!
as per tradition, delightful daisy blossoms for all the lovely ladies in celebration of International Women’s Day!

holy macaroni, i am humbled at the sight of 2500+ notes!
p.s. who would have thought that an underexposed, but otherwise ordinary black and white photo of the NYC subway’s “A” train would ever make such an extraordinary journey around the Tumblr community through so many likes and re-blogs. i am grateful to everyone who made it possible!!
thank you and enjoy!
from where we stood…
p.s. a photograph captures a physical moment of the past, yet fills us with emotion in the present moment

p.s. a quick digital fix, in a constant effort to branch out and keep it spontaneous!
enjoy!
