Each time I see one of my photos for the first time and it is a photo that I worked on and planned for, I normally like it. Then, as I look at it a second or a third time, sometimes I find distracting elements and I don't like the photo as much. Like many photographers, I'm sure that I'm not alone. Sometimes, the distractions that I find get to a point where I no longer like the photo. I have learned to get over that. In this case it is definitely the chain link fence on the left side of the photo that I don't like. There are many good things about this photo that make it fun to look at, but the chain link fence definitely takes away from that. However, if I look at this photo from a storytelling point of view I realized that the fence itself tells a story. The story of the rebuilding of this pier after storm damage in January of 2023. This chain link fence will eventually come down, but I have a photo of what it looked like during the construction. I decided to go ahead and scan and post this photo as an example for both myself and maybe other photographers to remember that not every photo composition will be perfect. Sometimes embracing the imperfection and understanding it will help us realize that maybe it might even be better than we think.
