Alone in the world
On a hunch
I can’t explain how I got here today but sometimes I let myself go and act on a hunch, this might not be the best thing to do, but this might be the best way to live, have you ever experienced something like this?
Stay well and pay attention to your hunches friends,
Bomba.
Rocks are underestimated
There is something about getting this far to this little place that makes you feel like you just reached the End of the world…
Frágil pero fuerte.
Y después de todo,
ahi estas tú,
brillando con toda tu luz
a los pies del océano,
la brisa del mar acariciándote,
y la neblina
haciéndote lucir más bella que nunca.
y después de todo,
ahí estas tu,
frágil pero fuerte.
Sunrise dip
i’m feeling grateful for my health and full of life these days, this is been such a hard year for everyone but i’m truly convinced our life can get better when our intentions are genuine and when we put an effort to do things we enjoy the most. Our vibe is what attracts the energy we want.
The other day I went to receive the energy and sunlight from the first days of fall and I wanted to share that with you with a little video, I hope you get it.
Stay close to the water and be safe out there friends.
Teresa.
SUN Rising
I wish I could live by the beach and be able to admire sunrises or sunsets from there more often, if you follow me on instagram you must know by now how much I share my love for these two phenomenons and how I like to light up neons at the beach too. Recently I went to Rockaway to photograph my newest neon rose called “Sunrise rose”, in that piece I talk about the ability to rise and become better, to grow and learn at the same time, to come from a lower place in your life to a higher position and more. Sun did not disappointed me, it looked so beautiful and a bit unusual to be honest, I will share the neon rose photo soon but in the meantime here’s this image.
Until next time,
Teresa.
NEON BOOBS: 3 STORIES
I have 3 stories for you today.
All my boobies creations represent a woman and a story, today I posted on my instagram this photo below about 3 of my neon boobs artworks and I want to tell you about it.
From left to right:
1.- “Dominga”, that’s my abuelita’s name (RIP) she had big ones, so does my mom and of course, myself, thanks Minga (that’s how we used to call her) and all my big boobs ancestors haha, it wasn’t until a few years ago that i finally accepted the fact that i had big boobs and started feeling good about it. I grew up feeling ashamed of them, they were just so big, but these are the coconuts that I was meant to have so there’s nothing I can do about it. This piece talks about genes and heritage, generations and family resemblance from woman to woman.
2.- “Plus, we’re not perfect”, these are big boobs and uneven, because that’s normal, I’m talking about naturally plus size girls, a lot of plus size women aren’t happy with their bodies, even skinny girls aren’t but none of us are perfect and that’s okay, so let’s just try to carry that weight in the best possible and healthy way.
3.- “Bipolar”, to all of you with a bipolar disorder struggling everyday, going from one or many positive thoughts to negative ones, you’re still going to be loved, hang in there and ask for help, know the symptoms and talk to your family, I’m no expert and I don’t want to hurt anyone with my thoughts so I’ll stop right there because i don’t know how that feels like, but I will continue celebrating all of you chicas no matter what.
Light & Love,
Teresa.
Charging batteries
Today was a hot day, I almost felt like I was about to give up the idea of my beach plans after a ride to Midtown, I barely go to the city anymore but I had to do a small job earlier there, I haven’t use the subway since March so everywhere I go I either bike or walk so crossing the Williamsburg bridge 2 ways on a Citi bike in one of the hottest days was no joke and on the top of that the inclination of the bridge is ahhhh!,but once I got back and got cool at home I packed my lunch and grabbed my camera and headed to la playa for a much needed recharging time, now i’m ready for another week of hard work, that’s another story about how people behave dining outdoors, I’ll tell you another time .
I wish the beach was closer to me so I can see the sunrise or sunset more often, in the meantime, enjoy some of the photos I took :) i’m no photographer but I like playing with the camera whenever I can.
Light & Love,
Teresa.
Sunset Rose
Hi, I’m again so happy to share my most recent neon artwork with all of you.
All the elements came together in such a magical way for me yesterday at Rockaway Beach, here in New York; my vision came to life exactly the way I wanted it, although is really hard to photograph neon lights and I don’t own a prime lens but i’m satisfied with the results because I got that 1 shot I was looking for. If you follow my work you know I play with roses at the beach all the time and that is my main inspiration for this, I have a deep respect for the ocean for many reasons and I believe light and water are besties in my world.
Thanks for reading me, please enjoy life as much as you can and I hope you get to enjoy my work as well.
Light & Love,
Teresa.
Escapadas: Montauk, The end of the world.
You might know or not that i’m terribly afraid to sharks but I also know the chances of getting bit by one are very low, hey I’ve seen Shark week! and other sharks documentaries, so I got into the water that day at Ditch Plains and I couldn’t even feel how cold it was because the adrenaline was so high! Honestly, I felt amazing, I can’t wait to go back to the water again.
Montauk is such a small town, so pretty, clean and really far away from the craziness of the city, is at the very end of Long Island, they call it “The end of the world”, this was my 4th time there. Sunset that day didn’t disappoint…
See you again soon.
Teresa.
Taking photos of roses, Fort Tilden.
Kosciuszko bridge
This is the first time I walk this bridge, I wasn’t planning on doing it but I was coming back from Long Island and the sun was about to set so I thought it was a good idea to park and walk to the center of it so I can admire the sunset, i’m so glad I did, the view was great and I was able to share a video and some photos with my mom who I miss tons.
The Bridge connects Greenpoint with Maspeth, Queens and is 1.14 miles. Who was Kosciuzsko? It was a Polish General who helped the Colonist during the Revolutionary War, this is all according to Google, you might wanna go deeper on books or the web if you’re looking for more info.
Anyway, what’s your favorite Bridge in New York? Do you ever walk them or just drive by? Sending you kisses with a mask and lots of love,
Teresa.
Hopefully very soon
The weather is now officially beautiful in New York! So I decided to ride a bike all the way to Dumbo from Williamsburg so I can see the water, feel the sun and workout a little bit, so much carbs these days, u know?
These times are really tough for all of us and nothing that I say or do is going to make a huge difference, but maybe you will enjoy these photos and see how much beauty there’s around us and forget what’s going on for 2 seconds. I truly believe we’re going to be fine, hopefully very soon.
Kiss,
Teresa.
Visual Poems.
I wrote this poem the other day, I was at my dear Laguna Beach, California recently, this is one of my favorite places. I’m no expert in how to express my emotions with words so I make this little clips instead.
I find so much beauty throwing roses at the ocean, that vision through a slow motion video makes me feel so many things.
Love,
Teresa.
