Whenever I go to the beach, I look for those moments that are timeless and make me connect to years gone by. Honestly, it isn’t easy to do, but I try each time again.

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

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

For an image to create a timeless mood, it must be a great use of light. You have to grab people’s attention and pull them in.

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

One thing I am noticing is that the light is flat in the middle of the day, shooting on a beach.

I have some new memories of our family enjoying the beach, so that we will cherish these; however, to communicate beyond our family and have an impact, that must be universal in their language of imagery.

You must stay tuned to see if I finally find the images. After that, I hope you will want to pack your bags and head to a location.
