Same place...different time...

As a rule, I almost always have a camera with me. The reasons are plentiful - the light may be perfect, the sunset colours are saturated and vibrant, old friends getting together, etc, etc. More than anything though, I love capturing a time and place - what it looked like, how it felt... I wanted to show a couple of photos from twentythree and how those places look since I originally shot them.

This first photo was taken in Glenora Falls, through the barn window on my parents-in-law's property. It was taken in October 2007. The trees were changing colour and there's a slight blue cast to the image. The second photo was taken last weekend on a bright, sunny summer afternoon. Funnily the hay is higher in the second shot (I guess the rain is good for something).

Patience, was originally taken while I was a student in Applied Communication Arts at Nova Scotia Community College in Halifax. The photography assignment was to shoot 'space'. This parking metre was sitting in front of the Chronicle-Herald building, which no longer exists. A couple of weeks ago I quickly snapped the same scene, except the building has been demolished and is slated to become a convention centre.

This one really amazes me because no matter how much I wanted to, I could never reshoot it. Maybe the name Patience has even more relevance in this shot.
