Throwback Thursday – Some Old New Favorites


I have just recently been going into my cloud storage to look at some of my old photos as it shows me memories of the days past. I don’t know why it took me so long to start looking at the memories, they are actually quite fun and educational. It’s educational because it allows me to see my evolution as a photographer.

I saw this photo from the March 21 memories and wondered why I never shared this photo. I saw the original but I decided I like this version better. The stark contrast of the colors really caught my eyes.

Here are 2 more from the March 21 memory and I absolutely remember them. These photos were taken March 21, 2022 at my alma mater. It was part of a photography class assignment where we must use the clock tower in our photos. The instructor didn’t say whether the clock tower must be in foreground or background. Looking at these photos now in 2026, I am picking these two as my favorite. I just love that sunset in the background and how the branches frame the clock tower.
