This channel is not about perfection.
It’s not about having the newest gear, chasing trends, or measuring your worth by likes and views. Photography should feel human, not stressful.
I’m Garrick — a photographer who believes photography is at its best when it’s personal, imperfect, and honest. This channel exists to slow things down and remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out to make meaningful photographs.
Here you’ll find videos about:
Enjoying photography without pressure
Making better photos without obsessing over gear
Learning through mistakes (I make plenty of them)
Staying connected to photography when motivation fades
This isn’t about being the best photographer in the room.
It’s about feeling confident enough to keep shooting.
I end every video the same way because I mean it:
I’m Garrick… and I’m your best friend in the whole wide world.
If you’re here, you’re not alone in this.

Hello Again! Next Wednesday Feb 18 I will share our first "One Photo Project" Video and the theme was "The Kitchen Table". The images and stories behind them are heart melting. I loved them all.
But our New Theme is "COLD". The interpretation of that theme is up to you, the creator!! I have a link below to where you can send your image.
Please remember its not a contest, its not a critique.........its just something for us likeminded fun creators to share our love and hobby and enjoy each others Vision.
We had 9 images in our first one, so I am hoping for 10 (or more) this time! Entries are due by Feb 28 - Sorry no exceptions for anything after Feb 28
How to Participate
Submit one photo using the link below.
You’re welcome to include a short caption or memory, but it’s optional.
👉 Submit your photo here:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
Submissions will be open until February 28th.
Selected images will be featured in an upcoming video.
This project isn’t about gear, rules, or perfection.
It’s about memory, connection, and the moments that happen when people slow down long enough to sit together.
Thanks for being here.
I can’t wait to see how you all interpret this months theme of COLD!
