@_DHOTYA Absolutely correct. It’s between “non binary” and “white privilege” to win the whole thing!

@_DHOTYA Hardest match yet!!

Meet Scott Perry! ·
@scottperrymagic is a professional magician and a super interesting guy that has performed magic on TV, for A Listers at star studded events and for the royal family. That's all well and good as an achievement, but I find Scott intere… https://t.co/yikqspota9

Goals - what are they actually doing to you? Because if you're anything like me they're ruining your 💩
·
To help me 'get out of my own head', focus on things besides a thousand goals, I installed a habit to read for at least 30 minutes every day. I'l… https://t.co/Egr4BwrEFB

[Gaz Dakin @GazDakin]

I now know what that 'thing' is. Annoying little blocker that makes you feel like you don't belong somewhere, or you can't achieve certain tasks, or you're not worthy of that price.

[Gaz Dakin @GazDakin]

It's about moving on from the boredom. Applying myself to creativity a little bit more each day, because although I've questioned it lately, this is what I want to be doing but in a more fulfilling way. The key is to love that process. ·

We don't know what we're doing!! Well, I don't 😂
·
I've been convincing myself, a lot, that social media is the way forward for a successful and fulfilling creative career. I've read, watched and listened for a couple of years on the subject and I re… https://t.co/3mkwbWBPD6

There's three things I'd like to get across from this image and my well placed 'tools' pointers.
·
Firstly, I'm using the image as a proverbial 'reset', this career I created for myself, based on what it's supposed to be, dreamed up by someone else, some… https://t.co/QnFOW9geev

Double tap for #littlebaby Eliza!!
You'd have thought that because I work for Mamas and Papas I'd have a lot more shots like this in the portfolio, but this one of the rare occasions and definitely bthe first I've posted. I really enjoyed it. I like the … https://t.co/i375M15gtp

[Gaz Dakin @GazDakin]

Obviously, this one is all about the sky. It's a good sky right? The time of the day, the colours that the morning time creates and the other images from this set of Mam Tor lend themselves to the connotation of it being post apocalyptic or 'sci-fi'. Tha… https://t.co/0imEGJ4xd5

[Gaz Dakin @GazDakin]

Mam Tor, just over there, chilling in the distance. Looking sweet in the am. For me, to make it look even more special, it's all about the foreground. To make the foreground pop and guide the eye up to Mam Tor, I wanted to keep it sharp and give it that … https://t.co/fEF4aBHA2d

[Gaz Dakin @GazDakin]

When I looked at this shot again, I liked how dusty the sky made the image look, almost apocalyptic. So I kept that in mind when enhancing the details and the colours. The time of the day really makes this shot though, that's key for me.
