Whenever I look back on my old photographs of the last few years I always notice how much I like each new image so much more than the last. And so an image taken 2 years ago, is hard to enjoy as much as one taken yesterday.

This is true with this image. I remember taking a photograph of this same ornamental twig-thing at my parents house which I posted on my blog on 5th Feb 2008. I loved the photograph then. Looking back, it really isn’t so good. So when I was there on Sunday, wandering around with my camera in my hand, ‘cos theres nothing good on T.V., I thought of having another go.

The result is this image, and yesterdays, which is another part of it.

I remember a fellow photographer saying to me that I will hate all these photographs in a few years time. That was 2 1/2 years ago. He was indeed correct. Okay, there are definitely some that I like. Even printed and framed one recently that I took using my old compact camera. But it doesn’t happen often.

I still don’t know half as much about photography as I would like, and the best part is learning more every time I take a new photograph.
