Persistence of Vision
There is a wonderful book by photographer David Lubbers that I highly recommend entitled “Persistence of Vision” in which the artist pairs photographs that he made years apart that show that he is seeing in the same way over time. I find this is true of my photographs as well ... on review ... images that are taken years apart appear to have a strong relationship in composition, light, texture, perspective, etc. even though it is not a conscious effort. I suppose this should not be surprising but it always makes me a little more thoughtful about my photography when I make the observation. The photos below were taken earlier, each about a year apart, and in different parts of the world. Although, in this case, they are all fundamentally abstracts, I can find these same photographic qualities, shapes, tones, and textures framed in some of my landscapes as well.
