Return to the lighthouse

The continuing visual journey

Over four years ago, I wrote a post titled To the lighthouse and butchered Virginia Woolf in the process. I feel kind of badly about that (the butchering part), but re-reading that post made me thoughtful about a recent excursion to another lighthouse. Yes, I know, lighthouses feature regularly in my work.

What happen this time is that I made one photo of the lighthouse, as I had planned. Yet, instead of making more images of the lighthouse, from various angles, I moved on to other, more-interesting-to-me-now subjects.

Reviewing that old post and examining my new journey to the lighthouse, I realized that what I see and how I see has been changing. In part, this is intentional and it makes me happy to see growth and exploration over the last four years. I’m encouraged that I am trying new things. I am also hopeful that this will continue, so that photography continues to be enjoyable and the great journey it has been for me so far.

So unlike my conclusion four years ago, I’m happy to report that I will continue to explore new ways of seeing and making photographs. And, I will continue to visit lighthouses. I just might come away with different images.
