One of the things I really love about these semi-regular Around the World posts is that, while I’m travelling, I’m not consciously thinking, “I must take photos of Volkswagens.” I just end up taking pictures of things that I like, and lo and behold, I end up with a lot of the same shots, like puppies or seafood or random drunk backpackers (yes, those are three of my favourite things). These posts have helped me discover themes in my photography, and it has been very fun to search for the accompanying photos.
In this case, it’s Volkswagen vehicles. I’ve never owned a Volkswagen, but I love that I’ve seen them all over the world, in all different colours.
What do you take a lot of photos of when you travel? Have you ever looked through your pictures and realized you have a lot of similar shots?

sunsets. I have probably some thousand photos of sunsets from around the world.
Nice one! Sunsets are so great to photograph. Here are some of my sunset shots: https://www.thisbatteredsuitcase.com/2013/02/around-world-sunsets.html
I love this! My repeating shot is always of political campaign posters. We just don’t get them in America (or at least my corner of it– politicians favor TV ads over physical posters) and as a polisci nerd I always get so excited when I see one. It’s an addiction!
Oh, that’s a great one! You must have an amazing collection.
As you know I’m a street art fiend, cannot get enough! Great shots of the VW’s, I would LOVE to own a VW van one day… xx
Yes! I love your street art photos. I would love to own a VW van one day, too…road trip?
There seems to be lots of them in Latin America. 😉
Ha ha – yes, I was going to do a post on just that, but then I found the shots from Laos and Thailand! I’m sure I have more of Europe somewhere, but I haven’t found them yet…
LOVE these shots! I so want a pink one. 🙂
I know – I love the pink one!
I have lots…cats, lizards, monkeys, cactii, and yes, Volkswagen Beetles! Oh, and food…I love how colourful local markets can be 🙂
I agree – local markets are the best things to photograph!
I have actually never thought about themes in photography. I have definitely seen a lot of pictures with themes like your’s but never thought I can put pictures taken in different location under one head. But, now, you have given me an idea. I think I am going to do it. 🙂
You should! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
