Silhouette of Your Life

What would you see if you can imagine your life as a silhouette?  What would be in your picture?  Who would be standing next to you?  What objects are around you?  What is the location?  What kind of color is in it? What emotion do you feel when you look at it in your head?

Let it bring happiness and warmth to your heart and soul.  It should be fluid and, ideally, constantly improving.

Make your life silhouette spectacular.

 Let it bring happiness and warmth to your heart and soul.

DARRICK’S ARCHIVE

Swooning Over Seascape

Seascape Resort was the location that I was able to hone in on my passion of photography.  The daily differences kept me intrigued, enticed, and excited.  Seascape was/is my anchor location.  The comfort at this location helps bring out the best of my work.  My goal now is to gain that comfort in other locations outside of Santa Cruz, California, the U.S. etc.  Finding an anchor location, person, thing in your life that gives you the comfort and confidence with your passion is a priceless feeling.

Change is Inevitable

I took this November 23, 2022 right as I was getting into photography.  Every time I look at this photo, I am reminded of how much has changed in a year and a half.  Two monstrous winters wreaked havoc on our coast line forever changing major landmarks in our county.  This photo is just a reminder that change happens whether you want it to or not.  Sometimes you can choose the changes, sometimes you can’t.  When you can’t, you just have to accept what is.  Change is inevitable.  Change is also a choice.

Every detail is a decision or choice, which creates your life’s map.

The astounding part of photography is how every second, angle, light etc can change the perception of the photo. The beauty of this shot is how much is going on in the photo.  The colors, contrast, light, different objects, and tiny details.  While the clouds, the sun, coastline, and pampas grass are all so prominent, my favorite part are the tiny landmarks (Cement Ship and PG&E Smoke Stacks).  So small, but if you want to see them in the photo, you can.

Tiny details matter in photography.  They matter even more in life.  Every detail is a decision or choice, which creates your life’s map.  Detail your map accordingly.
