This is my all-time favorite bench in Madison. Summer, spring, and winter. Apparently, I never photographed this in the fall.
As the seasons change, it’s fun to have a spot you return to. It gives you a chance to appreciate the colors, the moods, and the experiences that only come around every so often. And to think about how each time you visit, the day’s a little different, but the bench is always the same.
There’s something good in that.
ACTION STEP: This week, pick a place in your hometown to photograph. It doesn’t have to be anything special. Remember, I picked a bench. Then, create calendar appointments for 3, 6, and 9 months from now that remind you to return to that same spot. When you come back, take the same picture, with the same composition. I guarantee you’ll have fun and notice something new each time you return.
