As I mentioned only [the day before yesterday](https://mitchellens.ink/i-need-to-get-out-more-damn-it/), I need to get out more. I also made a promise to myself it would be just me and my camera again. Today I held myself to that promise. 

Despite popular belief[1](#fn1-13635 "see footnote"), I still very much enjoy taking architecture photographs. It’s a subject I shot when I first started taking photographs about six years ago. There’s a lot of fun in taking photos that don’t require much effort to result in interesting imagery. Still, it’s something I felt I’ve grown out of a while ago, as the challenges waned and I moved on to other subjects. 

But today I revisited.

All it took was hopping on a train to a place I don’t visit everyday and just walk around for a bit. I choose Amsterdam Zuid for this outing because I’ve been there before. In fact, it has been six years since I’ve been there to take photos on my own. 

Am I coming full circle?

In any case, I could now try and see it with fresh eyes though. I felt a little lost and self-conscious when I first got off the train but I quickly found my stride again. Before I knew it I was snapping away, finding new angles and interesting perspectives.

The end result is basically just a series of simple look-ups[2](#fn2-13635 "see footnote") but that’s perfect. It’s something I feel familiar with but at the same time challenges me enough to try and approach it differently from when I did it six years ago. 

Here’s one of my favourites from the afternoon.
