The Art of Returning to the same place

Sometimes the most powerful growth in photography doesn’t come from chasing new places — it comes from returning to the ones we think we already know.
In this episode of The Photog Files, Rick Nelson explores the quiet art of coming back to a familiar scene, and why repetition isn’t sameness — it’s evolution.

Through reflection, philosophy, and personal stories from behind the lens, Rick uncovers a deeper truth about creativity:
we only capture what we’re capable of seeing…
and every time we return, we see a little more.

With insights from legends like Ansel Adams, Cartier-Bresson, Monet, and Heraclitus, this episode dives into how time, growth, and experience reshape our vision — not just as photographers, but as people.
The landscape may stay the same.
But you don’t.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure whether you’re improving, this is your reminder that progress often hides in the familiar.
Return.
Look again.
And see what’s changed — not in the scene, but in you.

Listen to rediscover the beauty of coming back, the power of patience, and the truth that every revisit is a new beginning.
