The value of repetition is akin to meditation. Especially, when we look and listen. Another essential human quality in jeopardy.

Thanks for posting.

I’ve enjoyed seeing you post this scene over time. Repetitive photo projects are really interesting to me. I took photos of a pair of trees on the Lake Michigan shoreline for years. While the subject is the same, every photo is different. I only stopped when they succumbed to bluff erosion and tipped over the edge. Nice in a way to have that end point decided for me.

Keep making your photos!

I had to take a picture of the Harrison Mayes sign in Conway, AR every time I was there. Kind of the same intention that you describe, but I was never able to describe it or even thought about why I felt the urge. Your post is spot on. Thanks and cheers from Germany.

I really love these repetition projects, there's something calming about them. I can't help but think of Auggie from 'Smoke' and TPT by Hayahisa Tomiyasu when looking at your photos. Your work is really nice, Roger.

I have a similar situation where I walk to work most days with my camera. I started because I didn’t have much time to take any photos and now it’s become a little project of mine. Documenting my short walk and how it changes.

Unfortunately and fortunately for the family I’m moving to a new area of the town so I will have to start a new “walk to work” project
