The Same Thing Only Different
Yesterday while hiking and photographing at Georgia O'Keefe's beloved Ghost Ranch I had the realization that each time I visit a familiar site I see it anew. I see new things and I frame the same subjects in new ways. That's why a photographer might return to Point Lobos dozens or scores of times and still find it fresh.
So it is with these two images of white windows on a richly textured old adobe. They were taken several years apart and are very different takes on a tried and true subject.

These two photographs, taken in wildly different light and from different angles emphasize your point that photographers can always return to subject matter photographed before and find new and exciting textures and meaning.
The top image has incredible impact with its high contrast between light and shadow. The bottom one is much softer with even light and allows the viewer to find more detail in the surface.
Nicely done, Steve!
