"Take it slow. Don't rush through your trip. Really experience what you're seeing. It's not just a matter of getting from one point to another - it's the journey that's worth savoring."- Daryl Hawk their stories, to really listen to what they say about their lives I come away with a story about what life is like in their area. When you take the time to talk and get to know people, interesting things will happen that lend themselves to better photographs. People will take you somewhere, show you something, they'll bring you into their homes." For Hawk, it makes the difference between what might have been an average photo and one that's truly memorable. Hawk takes a straight forward approach to meeting people, but he downplays the fact that he's a professional photographer. "I try not to make a big deal of iy. I tell people I'm a photographer interested in documenting different places and lifestyles and would be interested in taking some pictures to share with others. (Boat Above) "This is Sally's Cove in Newfoundland. It was late afternoon, probably a half-hour before the sun went down. It was right after a rainstorm, and you know how sometimes after a rain when the sun comes out the light is a little more dramatic. Everything was working, the light, the colors, and I composed and photographed in as many ways as I could while the light lasted." (Children Above) These happy children were photographed at Fort MacPhearson in the Northwest Territory of Canada.
