I keep returning to the same places looking for those images, hoping to find something just a little different or slightly unique from what I've captured previously. Maybe it's as simple as a different shade of gray or the inclusion of fog to an image. Just small things but I certainly wouldn't turn my head (and camera) away from drastic differences. It's becoming an obsession of sorts and I enjoy the hell out of my attempts to capture the perfect image. Though I doubt I will ever be totally satisfied. Because there's always potential tomorrow for something never seen before.
Most people fail to understand my degree of enjoyment. It took over fifty years before I began to understand. Something about a search for perfection in always changing images and circumstances that you know has infinite possibilities and no conclusion. You find one visual that you feel good about and it causes (or calls) you to seek more and better. There's a joy and freedom in this search that I used to feel when playing basketball. And so far this joy and excitement has only grown stronger!! To the point where I'm beginning to feel a daily calling and satisfaction in finding an image worthy in my eyes of documenting.
