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.
Love it. I also do this! I am also attracted to things that are on their way out the door, so I revisit when I can to see if it's still there. Once I photograph something it becomes an old friend that I like to check up on from time to time. I'm also thinking of how many photographers, including Robert Frank, would search out places photographed by Walker Evans and photograph what has or hasn't changed.
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
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.
There used to be a majestic old tree in a field along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. I used to stop there at various times of the year to get a photo or two. I can certainly relate to shooting the same thing in different seasons and times of the day. There are some subjects you can’t get enough images of to capture their true nature.
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.

Keep making your photos!
The value of repetition is akin to meditation. Especially, when we look and listen. Another essential human quality in jeopardy.
Thanks for posting.

Wow interesting about Robert Frank, I hadn’t known about that!! Thank you

Would love to see Cinderella open up, now that the cinema at the mall has closed.

On a side note. I think we used to work together in Cary, NC.
Love this. How beautiful.
