I want to do things no one else has done before, be unique in my work. This is part of my firework series where I literally draw with my camera. As the fireworks go off I envision shapes, forms in a split second. Here I saw tears from heaven. I moved forward and down with this photo. 1.3 second exposure at F4 ISO 100.

Even at the disadvantage of internet I could tell this photograph was exceptional. I was not disappointed. The phalenopsis in "Orchid Reflection" is exquisite! Framed it is "fine" art at its best. Thank you for taking such a beautiful photograph, the three days it took to get the reflection "right" was totally worth it. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I am truly amazed by how incredible all of these photos are. You have such an amazing gift. You must have the patience of a saint, as it must take some time to capture such amazing beauty. Your work is exceptional and so moving.

Can't say enough good things about your exceptional talent. Of course these small previews can't begin to do justice to the quality of the full sized originals. Having seen a number of your originals in person, I know that they are nothing short of breath taking.

Darrin is one of the most brilliant photographic minds I know his work is true, honest and accelerated. It would be an honor for anyone to own his original work, I own several of my own and them are fantastic.

What a fantastic shot. The simplicity of the wood pier and the colors of the sunset are the perfect compliment to each other! And the reflection on the water...just spectacular.

Beautiful and full of emotion. I love the splashes of color from the speeding cars and the lights along the bridge. Such a stunning capture and beautiful tribute on such a devastating day.

the juxtaposition between the rough texture of the wood and the smoothness of the ocean water and sky is breathtaking. Not to mention the composition and colors are phenomenal! well done.

The moon! I mean, holy crap...How perfect is this shot? The water feels so subdued and the location is romantic and your eyes pan up from this feeling of tranquility to the brightness and intensity of the moon perfectly surrounded by the magnificense of the way the rocks are formed. Just superb! :)

there is something both eerie and mystical about this shot. I feel as though I could stare at this image for hours and come up with a ton of stories in my head surrounding this one picture. My mind is currently running rampant with ideas involving supernatural entities encompassing this photo. Perhaps I watch too many horror/supernatural movies, but this image could definitely be the opening shot!

This is such a gorgeous image. I love the many colors in the sky contrasting against the colors and textures of the ocean and rock. All of the colors and textures blend together perfectly to create a truly outstanding image and moment in time.
