Image of the Week: Barns IV, Middlebury, VermontI often revisit subjects. Sometimes I'm dissatisfied with earlier attempts to photograph a location; I see my mistakes and my inner perfectionist is eager to go back and try again. Like the old cliché goes: if you're satisfied with your work, then you're not working hard enough. But this isn't always the case. I may be perfectly happy with my earlier photographs of a subject and still return to try again. I'm not looking to improve upon my past work, I just want to say something different, to photograph the subject from a different perspective, both literally and mentally. The barns just down the road from my house in Vermont are just such a subject. I've photographed them numerous times, and each image says something different about the scene.
