The Ideal...

A{wo}man has honor if {s}he holds {her}self to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.
{Walter Lippmann}
This blog is dedicated to those who hold in their mind anything Ideal, so long as they remember to live up to those hopes and dreams, no matter what.

nythroughthelens: Sun rays pouring over Bow Bridge in the late summer. Central Park, New York City. There are moments that remain etched into time: moments that aren’t easily forgotten no matter how much time passes between the yawning gaps in between memory and dreaming. The ability to capture uniquely experienced moments is at the core of photography. Cameras become jars with which to capture moments that flicker like fireflies. Photographers are moment collectors and dream catchers. Every collected moment and every captured dreamscape is the result of the tiny flicker that catches the photographer’s eye in such a profound way that it becomes an impossible feat to deny the urge to embrace the moment by capturing it in a photo. —- After my awesome interview last week for Photo Talk Plus (here: http://goo.gl/nrLj7 ), a few people messaged me privately about this photo since I talked about it on the show. Since it is an earlier photo of mine and it is positively gorgeous outside today in NYC, it felt like a good time to re-share it. Enjoy! :) —- View this photo larger and on black on my Google Plus page —- Buy “Like Fireflies - Boats Under Bow Bridge - Central Park” Prints here, email me, or ask for help.

This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen! Ashley sets out to show people how they can shine. From offering things from scholarship opportunities for underprivileged children, to involvement opportunities, to just making a child smile, she is being the change she wants to see in the world. She encourages each of us to do the same thing! Check out her website for more information on her project

<3 Much Love
