It’s been six years since I moved back to Charlottesville and, in that time, I feel like I’ve photographed practically everything in town. If I’m going to continue taking pictures, I have to force myself to take a different approach. Sometimes, that means revisiting old subjects. I think I have photographed every scene here at least once before. But I keep making pictures, just to see if I can’t find something new.

I used a Yashica-D medium format camera for these pictures. The black and white photos were made with Ilford XP2 Super, and the color photos were made with Kodak Gold.

And for those of you who went to UVA, here are a few photos that should be familiar sights.
