Whenever I go to the beach I am looking for those moments that are timeless and just make me connect to years gone by. Honestly it is so difficult to do, but each time I try and try again.

The way I do this is just looking and seeing if there is an emotional pull from the scene. I try to isolate objects and try different angles.

I think sometimes the silhouette helps to make objects and people become more symbolic.

For an image to really create a mood that is timeless it has to be pretty awesome use of light. The reason is you have to grab people's attention and pull them in.

Sometimes the activities are more timeless and can bring back those memories for us.

One thing I am noticing is that middle of the day shooting on a beach rarely is the light dramatic enough to really do it for me.

I do have some new memories capturing our family enjoying the beach, so these will be cherished by us, however to communicate beyond our family and have impact that must be more universal in their language of imagery.

I guess you will have to stay tuned to see if I finally find the images I am really hoping will want you to pack your bags and head to a location.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
