Title: "Waves of Passion" by Rick McCawley Over 65 years, I've pursued a life rich in music and visual artistry, striving to capture the beauty in fleeting moments that others might overlook. This music video, which I have affectionately named "Waves of Passion" embodies over a half-century of my artistic journey—blending life's passions with state-of-the-art technology. Tools Used in Production: My Original Photography: Leveraging my 25-year "Water Woman" project, I utilized Mid Journey's /describe command to evolve my photography into new, dynamic forms. Mid Journey: A powerhouse of creativity, generating over 120,000 images in the last two years, this is a curated tiny sample of thousands of hours of production, that shaped the visual narrative of this project. Suno.ai: Infused with my own words and reflecting my deepest emotions, this tool helped orchestrate the music that threads through the visuals. Photoshop: Essential for retouching and expanding the imagery, retouching each element ensuring every frame was perfect. KREA: Transformed still images into flowing video, enhancing quality and depth to bring stillness to life. Dream Machine by Luma: The newest addition to my toolkit, used to create captivating 30-second clips, each upscaled for maximum impact. I designate this work: "Signature Worthy" as a testament to a life spent in pursuit of artistic excellence. Each frame is steeped in my humanity and dedication, meriting my signature not just as a mark of creation, but as a seal of my lifelong passion. I invite you to experience this journey with me, Rick McCawley https://lnkd.in/e9jPCSpQ

How Kassidy Transformed Her Pain into Purpose: A Lesson in Resilience We often talk about strength and resilience, but few stories embody it as deeply as Kassidy’s. Diagnosed with FSGS, a rare kidney disease, her childhood was filled with medical challenges. Yet, through adversity, she discovered art, self-expression, and the power to model. It was an incredible experience to capture her story through my photography, showcasing how she’s transformed her scars into symbols of strength. 📸 Her journey reminds us of the transformative power of embracing our stories—and our scars. Discover how we worked together to capture this incredible journey:

A small summary about the photographic project that has been accompanying me for years.
