Imagine a photographer, beginning his career at the tender young age of, say, 12. Now imagine this same photographer, slightly later in his career, say at 70. This gentleman has had a long and successful career, shooting various things that attracted attention and awed many a viewer. How has his experience changed his photographic whims?
I ask this somewhat awkwardly, but does age affect what one shoots, and how one shoots, taking age-specific activities out of the equation? Would this photographer shoot, say, the Grand Canyon in different ways at 20 and at 60? Would the composition and exposure alter from decade to decade, and can this evolution be tracked easily through the photographer's career?
This is just a simple thought, badly laid out, but perhaps worth a few neurons worth of effort.

His note: Took this shot of a light on a brick wall at about noon. With a little saturation trickery this is the result.

Her note: Chicken Santa Fe Stromboli. So good.

My note: This is again my sad attempt at trying to shoot something very mundane but giving it something different, as if a dutch angle on this kind of thing has never been tried before. It's one of my weaker shots, but I didn't really have much time to do anything else today.
Again, post 2 of three for today given my busy past few days.
