# Thirty Days, One Frame: The Commitment of Repetition It's been thirty days since I started shooting the same view from Washington St & Water St in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood. The initial excitement has worn off, and I've found myself in a state of monotony, where every shot feels like the last. The sun rises, the sun sets, the people walk by, and I'm left with a sea of identical negatives. At first, I was drawn to the idea of capturing the essence of this place, the way the light danced across the water, and the people's stories. But as the days went by, I began to notice the imperfections, the way the light would sometimes falter, and the people's faces would become distorted. It was as if I was seeing the world through a different lens, one that was no longer focused on capturing the perfect shot, but rather on understanding the imperfections that make life worth living. I've come to realize that repetition is not just about taking the same shot over and over again, but about finding the beauty in the mundane, the imperfections that make life worth living. It's about seeing the world through a different lens, one that is no longer focused on capturing the perfect shot, but rather on understanding the world in all its imperfections. As I look back on these thirty days, I'm struck by the realization that I've been so focused on capturing the perfect shot that I've forgotten to live in the moment. I've been so caught up in the idea of creating something perfect that I've forgotten to appreciate the beauty in the imperfections. It's a lesson that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life, a reminder that perfection is not the goal, but rather the journey itself. The view from Washington St & Water St in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood is one that I've grown to love, not just for its beauty, but for the imperfections that make it worth living. It's a reminder that life is not about capturing the perfect shot, but about living in the moment, and finding beauty in the imperfections that make life worth living.
