We have existed in this world for a long time, shaping it to our needs with the elements around us. Human intelligence has flourish with time, but it million of years of learning experience that has dawn upon us, that makes us what we are now.
We used stones, to carve our pots and tools, then came the metal age, its been slow and steady ride till we have created the artificiality of life surround us. We do what we are told to do, we use what they tell us to us, our own inner instinct and the connection with nature is long gone, using all those cosmetics, refreshments and other enjoyments of life which are not even made by us but rather some other country.
In these conditions, the urge to know the sense of timelessness wake up in the minds of searching souls. they want to be out of the ordinary, they want to travel in time, they are the lovers of the past, not the future. This may be the future with all the elements we have created do not seem to be the enchanting one.
There is a place where time can stand still for you, where the traditions still hold their importance and culture is flourishing. From the architecture to the daily life, everything has a sense of timeless for those who seek it. A place where once you enter you do not want to leave. Where people return your smiles back to you. Where they live in perfect peace and harmony. The place is Hunza Valley.
With all the mobile phones, Cable TVs, and outside words attempting to degrade the living style of these wonderful people, the culture & heritage of Hunza is striving to find its path into the 21st Century.

History is rich in wisdom -- treat it with dignity and respect for you will learn many new lessons from those who have gone before.

Take on the Theme of Long Exposure
I haven't done landscape shots in a long time. Admittedly because of laziness. I got to the Pier at about 6am (sunrise at 6:20). But i really should have gotten there at like 5:30 at least. To pick the spot and not feel rushed.
I took alot of similar shots, one of them With the sun's light beaming at just the right moment. But the reason why i went with this one is the mood. The timelessness of the moving water was the focus.
So here it is
(i got alittle too close to the shoreline and soaked my shoes, socks, pants and tripod with water.... Camera came out alright and dry though ^__^)
Sporting the original Railfreight Triple Grey livery she left the Brush Falcon Works in 23 years previously, Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" still looks in great nick and at home in the modern era.
92044, now owned by GB Railfreight, hauls the loaded 6X41 STVA working from Dagenham Dock to Garston Car Terminal through Acton Bridge in the dawn light.
As if I enter the woods in Kafka on the Shore, time doesn't flow any more here. It's timeless everywhere.
A classic Porsche 911 in a quiet studio setting.
Soft light and clean lines define the composition, while a solitary presence introduces a quiet sense of scale.
The timeless silhouette of the car remains the natural focal point.
You can go back centuries and find a scene almost identical to this. It is a timeless tradition. Only the shoes change. Skipping stones into the river is surely one of the finest past-times we can ever experience. It's hard to find the words to describe how it feels sharing it with grandchildren. What is even more awesome is watching the 13 year old teach the 9 year old the proper technique.
This Stoop and Tile has been through it all. It is comforting to have little spots in our lives that are always there. Excelsior Springs, Missouri USA

This shot was pointing to the Pacific Ocean in the sunrise time. Of course, the sunlight was blocked by heavy clouds that morning, and all I could see was the big wet sand all the way to the rocky area at the far end, a.k.a. the end of the land. The lack of any landmark here made me feel I was standing in the middle of timeless space. This is an interesting shot for me to take, and I kind of like the monochrome feel here! :-)

I'm thinking about making a 'timeless' series; the area I recently moved to provides me with a lot of interesting subjects...
For me, this one looks like an old picture from a photo book and I think it's a bit warmer than 'just' B&W...

I realize that a lot of my pictures are very trendy looking, what with the fancy editing and fashion and what have you. Looking at some of the truly classic portraits from some of my favorites like Avedon, I needed to get back to the basics of what makes a good portrait. What inspired me was an old polaroid of my dad at my age, shirt off and cigar in hand in the woods, smiling away. I could practically taste the case of beer just out of frame.
So here we are, at the dried Boise River riverbed a hop, skip, and jump away from my place. I wanted a neutral palette, neutral clothes, and a neutral expression. Because 60 years from now when my grandchildren are looking through these pictures, I want them to be able to relate. And if I could go back in time 60 years, I would want my own grandparents to relate to this picture.

The timeless facade of The Monastery which sits high above the World Heritage Listed ancient city of Petra, close to the village of Wadi-Musa in the south of Jordan.
Another archive shot, obviously taken in Venice - the most magical, timeless city in Europe. This was shot on 400ASA B&W film. I don't know who the man on the bridge is, but I can remember that he stood there for ages in that position enabling me to get a perfect shot.
My first Lovetones doll from L O V E T O N E S and I'm not dissapointed at all.
She's gorgeous from head to toe, love her evil look and all the clothing is amazing. It won't be my last for sure.
