Just beautiful photo! Sure, I understand, but I think you always have a new and amazing seeing (novo e incrÃvel olhar) to the reality!
But your shot will never be exactly the same as the next person's. The light will be different, the graffiti may have changed, the sky may be blue instead of gray and cloudy -- there are any number of variables that make your pic your own.
Plus, you're documenting your subject at a certain point in time -- if someone else takes a similar shot two weeks later, that shows how the subject has changed in the interim. I think of this when I take street art pics that a dozen people seem to have taken before me. At least I can show how the work looked on the day I was there, and by comparing it to the other photos, people can see how it changed (or not) over time.
It is true, though, that every scene changes every day. It's like that movie 'Smoke', with Harvey Keitel. He takes a photo of the exact same street corner every day for years, and every day it's different.
I hear ya, though. Keeping up a photo blog is hard work. I hate to repeat myself, so I'm out there shooting every day...
yeah, i agree with all of the previous commenters. and as an example of what you're talking about, here's my shot of the same house:
