Waiting for sunset at the recently cleaned Houses of Parliament. It's been years since the last time I was here for a shoot.
How to photograph the Marshall field clock?
Iconic landmarks, the clocks were designed by the firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, for the store's architect D.H. Burnham.
Each clock is made of 7¾ tons of cast bronze.
The face of the clock is 46" across, the minute hand is 27" and the hour hand is 20½" long. The clock is impulse operated from a master timepiece located in the store. The timepiece is checked twice daily with the Arlington time signal and corrects the clocks every hour.
Photographed over the century countless times, I wanted to present it not as a clock, but as part of the history of our city. Melding it into the city-scape as a face in the crowd.
The clock you see was installed at State and Washington in 1907 and as time moves "One Way" - second by second, minute by minute it is suddenly 2023.
I love how that "one way" sign becomes crucial in the narrative and an anchor for the deep perspective.
