I don't visit the places I grew up in except for once. I drove by the first house my family lived in. While nothing really changed, it did not match my childhood memories.
I drive past my childhood home once every couple of months. Looks different but still the same in a way. I went to an open home a few years ago when it was for sale, I vaguely remember feeling sad after. Thanks for reading Paul!
This one hit in the gut, Matt. That bittersweet feeling of chasing a memory only to find the edges a little duller, the magic a little more out of reach. Totally get the sense of “we still had a good time… just not the one we were chasing.” Happens more often than we admit. That line about not trying to recreate the magic—yeah. That’s wisdom. Also, love that little moment with the guy heading off to Japan—feels like a perfect metaphor for the impermanence of place and phase. Beautiful shots, as always.
Thanks so much! I was really happy with it. After I posted it on Instagram, so many people used it without permission to promote their own businesses, which was a bit annoying!

Thanks so much Anton! Just subbed to your stack :)
The drone shot of the ocean pool is unbelievable! I want to swim there! Greap captures of what is clearly a nostalgic place.
