This old silver watch was my grandfather's, he gave it to me some 20 years ago. He used to wear it in the vest of his three-piece suits or, as in the picture, in the top pocket of his coat. It still works fine, and if he wants it, I will pass it on to my son sometime in the future. So the watch was there when I came into the world and probably will still be there when I am gone. That sounds pretty timeless to me.
I used the mystic New Petzval lens for this shot, with the F11 aperture plate. In post I gave the colours a bit nostalgic atmosphere.
Zeitlos —
Mit der Geburt erhält jeder
seine eigene Sanduhr.
Timeless —
With birth everybody
receives their own hourglass.
This photo was taken when I made a trip to one of many beautiful beaches in Selangor, Malaysia. The weather is cloudy but towards later part of the day, it became clear especially at the horizon.
While I scout around the beach I saw the two rather old sticks that are used to tie the boat to hold it from drifting away.
That day its low tide and thus the puddles made beautiful reflection of the sky and the sunshine. Truly a moment to be remembered ...
Picture of my gallery piece. This was shot in the gallery. My set up has to integrate the photographs and make sure the whole thing works as an installation. The gallery was open to the public and we had our critique there. Oh by the way, this photograph itself is not the one I'm displaying, it's actually a shot of my gallery piece. We're gonna have another exhibition in January, and the art pieces would be touched up.

I guess the hardest part is making sure that every single decision i made actually meant something and contribute to the whole idea itself...
So, this is the more famous Niemeyer building in Paris - the Communist Party HQ, built 1967-1981 (yup, that's Communist speed). We missed the Bourse de Travail... so we MUST return to Bobigny
like a lost spirit, a timeless tourist
I stole my soul into the breast of the black forest
the old growth trees had nothing on me
their roots ran deep, but I knew how to be free
I was born with more years behind than before me
my soles were sore from wandering a world
where hearts were unfurled
without the wrath of gravity
and the ocean was so wide and blind
I laughed how she was sometimes called the sea
like a lost spirit, a timeless tourist
I looked up into the buildings above
I saw a pigeon kissing a dove
I watched a window washer wonder why
he lived on the edge but was afraid to die
I saw the city suffer pity
for sodden souls still shuffling her streets
for shapeless spirits this side of the sod
all rain is the same in the eyes of God
like a lost spirit, a timeless tourist
I shrugged off the song
of a speechless sickness
I sang the notes of stubborn goats
I held the hooves of sighing sheep
I learned that the walls of self are steep
I picked up my bag, I dragged my legs
I was the tall tale that the dog couldn't wag
I couldn't play tag, I wasn't he or she or it
I was too tired to stand, too skinny to sit
I had far too many bones to pick
I was far from pure
in the person of a purist
I was haunted by my home, like a lost spirit
I was flying all alone, like a timeless tourist

I got lucky twice yesterday - first by being able to get a Nikon D800 camera body at my local Best Buy (my original order with one of the big online retailers was back-ordered and there was no telling when it would ship) and then secondly by having a perfectly calm day in Texas to test out the new camera. No wind is a rarity in this part of the world.
As you can tell, the bluebonnets are in full peak this week and I stumbled upon this magnificent field that covered acres of farmland.
If you have a moment, I hope you'll press "L" and see this in the larger sizes that are produced with 36 megapixels. I'm going to need to buy a BIG external hard drive.
Thanks - as always - for stopping by my photostream today.
Timeless sea breezes,
sea-wind of the night:
you come for no one;
if someone should wake,
he must be prepared
how to survive you.
Timeless sea breezes,
that for aeons have
blown ancient rocks,
you are purest space
coming from afar...
Oh, how a fruit-bearing
fig tree feels your coming
high up in the moonlight.
poem by .. Rainer Maria Rilke
I am through and through a flower lover....withering or blossoming, it doesnt matter!

19/09/2015, a very hot day at Praia Fluvial Azenhas do Guadiana, Mértola, Portugal.
Timeless tranquility on the Rio Guadiana.
With a known history of some three thousand years, Mértola has been occupied by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, and Christians.
One thing I doubt has changed in all that time; the animal grazing & watering right here at this spot.
This comparatively low and flat area, at the narrowing of the river to the north of the town, provides easy access to the river.
The town itself sits high up, overlooking the river; ideal for defence.
This point has always defined the uppermost limit of the navigable Rio Guadiana, especially in ancient times, and this, in turn, led to the development of Mértola as a trading port.
