Yes, you can physically come back, but when you do, would you really see what you saw before? That is, would your eye find the same image and appreciate it in the same way? Would not the shadows change and therefore the beauty change?<br /><br />Let us ponder the following experiment. You come to the cave and take pictures. I come to the same cave and take pictures. We compare our photographs. You return the next day. Are you still seeing the cave the same way? Would not the photos of another (as amateurish as mine would be!) influence what you see upon your return? <br /><br />Why, if you just returned yourself to the cave, alone but on a different day, I would bet your photographs would be quite different.<br /><br />I have faith that should Andy I. return the cave (or almost any other scene) after being there once (or twice, or thrice) he would find additional delights not spied earlier. <br /><br />It is that gift, that ability to see more than was seen before, that makes your photography so remarkable.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236449128797878326noreply@blogger.com
