Theme of regret;
he is chasing himself through the forest and literally reliving the memory of his past. He is running through the forest like an excited child would in their holiday.
He regrets that he didn't do anything with his childhood, as is represented by the photograph of the sunny day by the lighthouse and the contrast of the greyness of the cinematic shot.
He feels lost, however, as he ventured back to the origin place of the photograph, his worry was removed, as he repented on his childhood and realised it wasn't as bad as he thought.
This is metaphorically represented by the blank photograph, an image for a 'clean slate' and new start at life - it is representing he is a new man that cannot do anything to change his past.
Moreover, after the discovery of the photograph, the contrast of the film brightens which mirrors the beginning, a time when he was not recalling his past. This therefore represents a parallel change in his attitude, and conforms with my initial suspicion of the photograph being a metaphor for a new life; he is bright and happy again.
In answer to your question 'why does he do it just once', I believe that, as stated before, he realises the true objective in life is not to dwindle on the past, but focus on the present. Therefore, he realises he should let go of the past and live the day as it happens.
