You're welcome Ben. I was actually a little bit worried about posting this one. These are all things I've been through and struggled with. The 'paralysis through analysis' when I was about 22 stopped me photographing for a little while. It was tough.
Taking the same photo again and again? Errr... At the annual Peace Pagoda ceremony here in Milton Keynes, I took a wide angle shot of the monk in charge as he kept an eye on proceedings from his usual spot. The event was in the background. As I took the photo I realised I'd taken the same shot, from the same place, using the same focal length, with the same monk, at the same ceremony, the previous year! 😀 As you say it's my way of looking at the World, but it was a reminder not to get lazy; to always see if there's a better way to take the shot.
