I have a tendency to photograph the same things on multiple occasions, it seems. I suspect I’m not alone in this.
As photographers we can appreciate how a subject can change though time, whether that be over decades of weathering, decay, or environmental change, through the seasons of the year, the time of day, and even minute-by-minute, second-by-second as the light changes.
I’ve never purposely set out (so far, at least) to document such changes to a scene as part of a project, but I do find that things that catch my eye the first time I encounter them will often catch it again on further visits. Today’s post shares two shots of the same house, the photographs made about five and a half years apart on different cameras, different formats, different films, and in different conditions. The viewpoints are different in both, but the central subject remains the same. Maybe I’ll photograph it again on some future visit to this location.

The light makes a huge difference doesn’t it….

Definitely so. The B&W was from the first roll of Ilford HP5+ I shot and I wasn’t impressed with the results, which I thought looked flat and dull. In reality, it was the conditions in which the photo was made – a flat, and dull day, unsurprisingly – that were the cause. That and my inability to work with the weather.
HP5+ has since gone on to become perhaps my favourite film stock.
