Revisiting

Happy New Year!  Sometimes I get in a slump with my photography and I will go back and view some of my older images. In doing so I often find images that I really like but when taking so many photos they were passed over to go on to the next group of images. (Thank goodness for digital because at least I can organize images better than I did when I was shooting film) Sometimes when time has passed, I  look at things differently and may like an image better this time around.  This photo is one such image. When looking at this, I think it creates a story (which may be different for each person) but never the less a story is created. That is one reason I like it.

Approaching

Back Stoop

The Back Stoop, another image I took during the same visit to New York in 2010. I liked the simplicity of just one chair and again it kind of created a story for me. I thought of the person living in this apartment and even though it was a busy street the chair was set up on the back stoop to create a sort of retreat for the person to sit, relax and view the people passing by.

Moment of Peace

Also taken during the same trip. I was on the subway and this woman was so peaceful, didn't know if she was sleeping, meditating or just taking a moment to rest. I thought she was beautiful and wanted to capture that moment.

So, no matter the reason, revisit at your older images. You never know what you may find.
