Through the Years (39/40) Another special NYC moment that was caught on my Polaroid camera. I shot this one while I was visiting the city for the first time before I had officially moved here. I remember that trip so vividly. Growing up in TN, seeing NYC for the first time was an eye-opening experience, to say the least. I still can't believe I get to call this city my home. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Love. Kindness. Empathy. Love - It's a broad concept that tends to be confined to our personal circle of family and friends. The true power of love, however, expands beyond this boundary; it thrives in the compassion we extend to strangers, the solace we provide to the distressed, and the listening ear we lend to those unheard. In its purest form, love can serve as the catalyst for positive change, inspiring others to act with kindness and igniting a chain reaction of loving and uplifting gestures. And it doesn’t end here. Love gives birth to other essential virtues. Kindness - Nestled within each of us, but often muffled by life's trials and tribulations. When love is stirred within us, our natural kindness emerges and pervades our interactions with others. Its significance has dwindled over time, but if we wish to spark change, influence others, and transform our world, we must rekindle our kindness. With love and kindness, a new virtue arises. Empathy - When life's rat race engulfs us, empathy is our refuge. Empathy provides us with the vision to understand, the patience to listen, and the strength to respond with compassion even in the face of adversity. Empathy is our armor against the world's hostility, transforming conflict into calm and aggression into understanding. It teaches that kindness, rather than combat, reaches hearts and solves problems. Empathy, thus, becomes a catalyst for personal and societal change. Unity - When we're steeped in love, kindness, and empathy, unity comes naturally. We put aside our differences and recognize that we are stronger together. We can weather any storm together, celebrate life's joys more fully, and co-create a world we're proud to live in. Unity is the essence of life; it is constantly challenged but must be fiercely guarded to achieve the harmonious world we envision. We are living in a world rife with division and discord. A world in which I wouldn’t want anyone to live. And in this world, I feel the call to embrace love, kindness, and empathy has never been more urgent. Let us heed this call with unwavering commitment and compassion. It is through these virtues that we can pave the path to unity and collective prosperity. By embracing these virtues, we not only craft a better future for ourselves as individuals but also sow the seeds of a more harmonious and interconnected world. Together, we must strive for a future where love reigns supreme, kindness abounds, and empathy knows no bounds. This is our collective journey, our shared responsibility, and our greatest opportunity for lasting change. Be more loving. Be kinder. Be more empathetic. Aurora
Every Day Is An Existential Crisis... 100 Bonsai Open Edition. 7 Days. 80% Referral Rewards 👀 👀
Through the Years (38/40) I shot this one at Rockaway Beach last summer. It was a perfect beach day, the sun was shining, the wind was blowing, and the water was (somewhat) warm. I looked to my right and saw a surfer with his board finish his session, and knew it was the perfect photo opportunity. I think this one being on B&W film made it hit a lot harder too. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
On the Edge A collage I made a few years ago is now available to collect on Lens 👀 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (37/40) This self-portrait captures an important moment in my Art career. This was shot at my first ever solo show in Chattanooga, whenever I was doing a live painting in front of an audience. The show was on the outdoor patio of a local hostel, and I booked it by simply walking in and asking if I could. I had one month to prepare, and to this day I have yet to work harder than I did in that one month. I produced 40+ paintings and had shirts, pins, and more for sale. My efforts paid off, I made 1K+ in sales that day, and it showed me that my Art holds power. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
_2142 2015 1/1 4000x3200 324,958 $BONSAI 📍 24h into the storm and around the bend, unsure what’d be waiting at the end. the beginning of something fresh and new, but not without question of what she’d do. most go to the desert for peace. we went for mayhem. all warnings unheeded. brutal wind potential with no cover. micro bullets pounding exposed skin from every direction. pouring grains out of clothing for 3 days. sacrificing all camera equipment for the shot. a scene hollywood can’t make without a mad max budget. likely the most non-recreatable image i’ve ever formed. all for a project from the heart with a dear friend who rented a van & covered hotels. 0 pay. of course this is how it goes most of the time for freelance creatives working on the “cool” stuff. 2,142 miles of a loop journey all at the beginning of a new chapter in my life wading into unfamiliar waters with a relationship but inspired & fired up creatively while exploring the craziest places on earth that were once under the ocean during the dinosaur age. watch the short film here, called FORBIDDEN STRUCTURES by DADAYEARZERO: https://vimeo.com/539991920 (( 32°49'58.0"N are half of the coordinates, hence the price of quite possibly my grailest of grails in the catalogue as of today. i won’t give away the longitude :)) i would also like to print this on canvas for whoever collects so please DM me! 🙏 @lens/lens @lens/orb @lens/hey @lens/ornaart @lens/buttrfly @lens/pinsta @lens/phaver @lens/bonsai @lens/creators @lens/photographers #GRAMSDIDIT
This is truly life changing. I can make art without worries for a while now, I can’t say thank you enough 🥹🫶
Through the Years (36/40) I shot this one in San Fransisco, on a sunny day at Baker Beach. I've only been to CA two times but each time I am astounded by how beautiful the nature is, especially the beaches. Can't wait to go back one of these days. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Who will collect this 1/1 👀
Innocent Years This collage represents the feeling we all had of being young and carefree as a child. I try my best to keep this mentality even in my adulthood. If you can approach every day with a playful mindset, and give yourself grace at all times, you will be surprised how easy life gets. The universe is on your side and wants you to win, you just have to be willing and ready to accept it. 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Only 5 more Polaroids in my "Through the Years" collection! I have something cool planned for all the collectors for the final piece 👀 Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this collection, it's so crazy to see.
Through the Years (35/40) This polaroid came out completely blank for some reason, but instead of throwing it out, I decided to use it to experiment with. So I manipulated it and added a bunch of extra colors and this composition came out of my efforts. What do you see? 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
The Other Side A digital collage made a few years ago that was never shared, is now collectible here on Lens. The collector of this 1/1 has the option to claim a 13x19 print of the piece! 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (34/40) I shot this one in Roosevelt Island, I saw a fisherman enjoying the weather that day and had to capture the moment. It wasn't until I manipulated it that the colors really popped, and gave it some otherworldly textures. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Who will collect two original pieces 👀
Charcoal Experiments I made these two pieces with charcoal on paper last year and would love to find them a home. Whoever collects this post will receive both of the original pieces! 1/1, 20000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (33/40) This self-portrait was shot in Franklin, TN. When I was living there I discovered a secluded creek that I would hang out at and skip rocks. I brought my friend with me one time and asked him to take a picture of me to remember the moment. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
"Pass Through" An original piece made in 2020, that has been sitting in my archive for years. I am finally ready to see it go to a new home. The collector of this post will receive the original piece! 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (32/40) I shot this Polaroid outside the window of my first apartment in Brooklyn. At first, it wasn't anything special, but once manipulated, it gave it a new life that looked otherwordly. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (31/40) This one was shot on the coast of Maine, right before the sun was setting. The sky almost reminds me of cotton candy, and I love how the water almost matches the sky's color. Maine is absolutely beautiful, if you haven't been I highly recommend seeing it! 1/1 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
This 1/1 had my name on it.
This piece was created years ago as a cover for a music artist but ended up not being used. Since then it's been sitting on my laptop unseen for far too long. I think this is a special one, and I want to make it collectible here on Lens! 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (30/40) Another self-portrait that was shot in Chattanooga, TN. I found a mirror sitting behind an old building and decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a picture. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (29/40) I shot this one in Asheville, NC using a light prism to help make it look even better. Light prisms can easily be purchased online and you hold them in front of your camera lens to interact with the light and get some experimental results. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
This is the only polaroid that is currently available 👀
HOLY SHIT @lens/princetiwari you are changing artists lives 🤯
Forgotten Dreams This collage was made in 2020, it was featured on a hoodie I made back then, and I even did a print run of it that sold out in a week. This piece is a special one, and I thought it would be fun to make it collectible only on lens 👀 1/1, 10000 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (28/40) Another favorite self-portrait, this one was shot using double exposure, which is only available on the newer Polaroid cameras. I shot this while still living in North Carolina, it's crazy to think how much has changed since then. Like the fact that my head is buzzed now lol 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (27/40) As soon as I passed this sign I knew I had to photograph it. It's not every day you see words like this in such a random place, I'm thankful that I can go back and look at this forever now. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
Through the Years (26/40) This one is another all-time favorite of mine, I knew I was going to the beach that day and I thought it would be fun to bring a mirror to try to take pictures with. I had a vision and then executed it and it came out even better than I could've imagined. 1/1, 500 #BONSAI, thanks for looking!
