SUBTLE LIGHT
Essence Of Life:
W eek in frames brought to you by Ashtonesia, it’s the time of the fall and rise, without looking at the Lunar Eclipse that’s ahead, it dictates some of the subconscious levels from a spiritual standpoint. From a week of a Gas Explosion into a collapse of my own, I’m moved a little on how fast things can change before your eyes. Closely almost dropping off from my most loved passion to going blank to be able to write on the white pages that records time and history. But like I was saying before to those that were paying attention to one of my posts before, as to my focus on my domain on where it’s going the actions of these days has clearly shine some light on my intention into a new direction. I know this Saturday morning there will be a Lunar Eclipse, I will not be shooting it, but I will acknowledge its presence of its Global change.
Subtle Light images of the week will no longer be updated on a weekly basis anymore, I will need some time to rethink exactly what is going to be happening, but I am sure it will continue to hold its Essence from me to Li.fe. I want to thank Everyone out there that have helped me into shaping the person that I have become and even thou there is always room for more improvement, from all the pains, up’s and downs it will always be directed positively to good use in any way I can help others to be a person or someone that others can look up to no matter what.
One Of The Theme Songs That Motivates Me.

As there Ship arrives, this woman that sitting in the seat, reminded me of my grandma when she set sail before my time, here in NY being around the same things everyday can sometimes get you numb to something as small as this, but if you were to say you’re in another country or place in the world it would indeed have a different effect on your thinking. For me it’s always an effect on me to see how great this city is, you can travel by boat, ship, train, plane, helicopter, anything you can think of you can do it here with no problems at all, saying that along will make one of the greatest impacts on your life as simple as it looks to the people that is living here.

These are the
#villiageIdiots of the town, just a while before that I saw some other things that I refused to pull the button on but just had to when I saw this one. Then it came out from the NYPost how insensitive people can be when something bad happens, I also seen this many times before at the 911 memorial site as well but anyway. (

As I leave, I looked back one last time before heading on my way. I will always capture what I can when these things happen in the city I live and will post them how I see fit. My preys go out to the 2 young men Nicholas Figueroa and Moises Locon that lost their life in this devastation Thursday 26th March 2015 Explosion. (
