I think most non-conceptual photographers probably have a range of subjects they return to over and over, I have many. Trees, barns, coulees that i love and document in various seasons and light, etc. But normally i'm not trying to get anything specific i'm just continuing a long story of photos of a place. In this case, I can see the photo in my head and cannot seem to resolve the physics of it via a lens and sensor. So i keep going back. but i dunno if that's what you mean you're doing.
actually you have it inverted. I generally take a picture because i see a picture, and having done this a while now, it either usually works or doesn't, or I understand why it doesn't and fix it in situ so to speak. In this case, i know what i want it to look like but have yet to sort out the planes and perspective changes from lens+sensor and can't quite nail it down. why this matters more than the 100 other spots ive tried things and they didnt work and i left it alone i don't know. I only know ive been at this spot so many times over the years and how i think about it in my head isn't how it looks in photos and that bugs the shit out of me haha.
