A market stall selling clocks. And yes there is a person in there. The exposure isn't great because of some -very- brightly lit areas and some dark parts, so I'm a bit disappointed with the technical aspect of it. But I really wanted to capture the subject , so I guess it's ended up a bit of a compromise. Hope it doesn't look too bad.

My father bought this clock as a gift to my mother and had a plaque made with an inscription of his love for her. Unfortunately, it was near the time when she was diagnosed with cancer. They new her time was limited, and this clock, with it's inscription, was special to her.
Some time after she passed away, my sister came to be the owner of the clock, and by then my father had also died. My sister had a new plaque made, with the message: "In loving memory of Tom and Barbara Higgins" .

Chronulator 2.0 clock. built inside a custom stained cigar box. the wires are from an old pinball machine. I had purchased the old score wheels off ebay and it came with a bunch of old, cloth insulated wires attached to it. so I striped a few off. gives it that nice old look. better than the look of the new red and black wires.
The Dandelion Clock
A children's amusement in which the number of puffs needed to blow the filamentous achenes from a dandelion is supposed to tell the time.

David Wright, an 8 year old school boy from Bath, yesterday failed to arrive back into his school class on time after lunch due to the failure of a dandelion clock to give him an accurate reading.
"I had a feeling that I'd been out on the playing field for about an hour so I blew on the seed head to find out the time." said a distraught David from the detention room. "It told me it was still one o'clock so I stayed out a while longer until another dandelion informed me that it was two o'clock, so I went back to class, only to find myself getting a stiff telling off for playing truant".
The Secretary of State for the Environment, has expressed deep concern about the case and is to launch a public enquiry iinto whether global warming is to blame for the strange behaviour of the nation's flora, and to what extent the damage extends. "I'm just hoping that dock leaves will still be an effective remedy for nettle stings, and that the petal plucking "she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" test contunues to provide effective relationship advice to lovestruck swains".

The dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time

Be silent child
when you dream
your thoughts are sweet
like dandelions
they grow beyond
a hollow stalk
and burst into a flower.
What seems a weed
to a passersby
is really all you have
of hope
and when you blow
its pearl globe
you'll live inside
the wind..

A local graphic designer hooked me up with some new business cards!
These will be made available soon, and the white will be transparent. Love it.
There is another design coming that will be the "everyday" card as these are a little more costly and will be reserved for those more special occasions/people/etc.

October 11, 2018 - Antique Clock in front of Glacier Fine Chocolate shop in Downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This is a reconstruction based on remains at All Saints' Church, Highcross Street, Leicester, supplemented by documentary evidence. The original carved wood quarter-jacks disappeared many years ago, but traditionally dates back to the early 17th Century. In Jacobean costume, they represented heralds.
Like it's predecessor, this clock operates every quarter-hour, and chimes the hour on the hour.
Constructed with aid of National Lottery funds and installed in October 1999 to mark the beginning of a new millennium.
