I've noticed this happen a few times now. I find a shot with good light and a good subject, get home, and realize I missed part of the shadow. So I go back to the same spot and try again. Every time it's just not the same. I still take the image, but I end up not liking it. The excitement of finding the light, the subject, and the background all coming together only really happens the first time. Going back to redo it doesn't bring that back.

Before you go: what I got wrong before I even picked up the camera

Coming up from Canal Street into Chinatown. A couple of blocks away from the Manhattan Bridge.

Stay sharp: what I got wrong about staying safe on the street

I sensed something was off. I brushed it off. I should not have. What that morning on the Manhattan Bridge taught me about paying attention.
