Description
Span of time.2000 years ago, the Greeks had a way of understanding and talking about time that we have all but lost. To them time was not just a static thing. A past event could have impact and effect on a current event and move into the future. While we understand these concepts when they are explained, the beauty of Koine Greek, is that these thoughts, as well as many others, could be contained within one word. For us, to convey the same ideas, takes many words, many sentences and even in some cases paragraphs.
This image takes the concept of time and measurement, and treats them as equals. It challenges us to consider the meaning of time and its measurement, for our lives and our world.

LOL!!! That's not as bad as the time I somehow managed to delete several hundred waiting comments in one fell swoop!
Bad hair days are part of the universal suffering of the human condition!
And you are also most welcome on "Span of Time" and "Key of Light"! They're both strong images. You've really simplififed your message in each of them--and that, to me, anyway, is one of the secrets of great photography. They're very clean, and focused...and that makes it easy for the audience to relate to them. When I look at my own work--often the difference between the "good" ones and the "great" ones is how much I was able to simplify... (A hard task for me, I assure you!

I HAVE JUST BEEN LICKED....lol.
I have been playing with more set up photography as the weather has been colder. But I am beginning to get the itch to get outside.
one of the things I have noticed though, is that I am starting with a concept, and not just looking for a shot. I am hoping that thi shas pushed my creativity and that the results will continue when I get outside again.

Beautiful watch and a excellent shot. I'd love to just hold that watch. Your explanation of the Greek's ancient view on time was also very interesting. Thanks for such a great piece.

i've always wanted a watch like that, they are great

LOL....well neiher of your question can receive a positive answer. (maybe it is a koine greekthing...hmmm...) No my friend, question must be carfully asked. I once had a lawyer friend who told me that the best lawyers don't ask questions in a court room unless they KNOW the answers.
So here is your answer....The watch was running....but I just wound it, I did not set the correct time. I used to use this watch many years ago, and I wanted to see if it still ran...it does.
Thanks for the

I have a clock that looks like a porthole on a ship. It is not new but also not antique. I was thinking of using it in the shot of the watch and compass, but I did not incorporate.
