I had totally forgotten about the picture. And that's a shame.
One of the interesting aspects of my weekly TV piece is that I finally get to use some of the thousands of pictures I've taken over the years. For instance, if you watched the piece I posted yesterday (and if you haven't yet, just scroll back a day and do so) you would have seen ten photographs, nine of which I took myself (the head shot of Tom Izzo being, obviously, the one I didn't).
It's kind of nice to actually share the pictures with other people on occasion.
For another project, I was looking for a picture of green nature. I have a ton of them, but I didn't come across one that captured the spirit of what I was looking for. Then I found this shot--
I took it in the sleepy little town of Triberg, Germany, during our rain-filled tour of Bavaria in 2018. Because it was taken in weather that was less than optimal, it had kind of slipped my mind, unlike a lot of the sun-filled pictures toward which I tend to gravitate. But in this case, it was perfect for what I needed.
And I'm glad I came across it.
In the two and a half years I've been doing “Life in the 906” I've had the chance to use any number of shots that I've taken the past 20 years. I usually have an idea in which year I took them, so I can find them with minimal searching. There have been, though, several instances in which I knew I had taken a picture, but couldn't for the life of me find where it was. It was during one of those searches that I came across the Triberg shot, so while (if I remember correctly) I never did find the shot I was looking for, at least I came across something I could use.
In fact, it's something I could use twice, as I've now gotten an entire blog out of it. So I'm guessing that even though I couldn't find the picture for which I was originally searching, it was not a fruitless task.
Although one day I DO hope I find the picture for which I was originally searching. Wish me luck!
