Title: Do you keep photographing the same things too?
Post by: jojonas~ on August 29, 2017, 06:55:07 PM: I quite like seeing how the same subjects can look in different light, through different cameras and on different films

Do you have some subjects you keep returning to? Here's two from me:

Post by: jharr on August 29, 2017, 07:06:30 PM: I like taking pictures, but don't always have the time or resources to go somewhere exciting and new. So I end up taking lots of photos around home and around work. That leaves me with lots of photos of the same thing. Here are the same flowers (surprise!) around my workplace shot with a variety of cameras and films.

Post by: Bryan on August 29, 2017, 07:41:55 PM: A quick search for Basenji on my Flickr account will reveal my most photographed subject.

Also, this mountain pops up a lot but it's kind of hard to miss around here.

And so on... I probably got hundreds of them, but like anything I grew tired of it and moved on.

Post by: KevinAllan on August 31, 2017, 08:25:52 AM: Photographing the same thing repeatedly allows you to define yourself as an artist and refer to your "body of work" ;)

For me, lillies are a regular subject:
