Tick-Tock
For my final project, I choose to take pictures of clocks and watches. Although this may seem like an odd choice of subject, I found a new appreciation for these simple objects. I began my project by thinking of all the various watches and clocks that exist today. Endless is the only word that dares justify the category of our time-keepers. We have everything from a sundial to a tower clock, an hourglass to an atomic watch. If you were to look around your house, I would not be surprised if you found twenty or so time-keeping devices. Whether decorative or practical, an embellishment or part of your everyday wardrobe, these items are extremely vital to us. We live in a busy world, where our day revolves around our schedule. We rush from place to place, I would go as far as saying that we are addicted to time, yet take for granted how easily we come to know the time. And this is where my inspiration came from. I wanted to show the beauty in our watches and clocks, and capture their memories and story into a single frame.
I mounted my photos, as if they were the clocks numbers, and I added real clock hands, making my project an actual clock! I thought this was a creative way to display my photos, and although they are not set to the exact numbers per say, the overall theme is very clear. As for my composition, I choose to keep all the photos in color, because as a collection it benefitted the photos. I used a variety of angles and other enhancements to make a collection of interesting pictures. I believe that all of the photos are very thought-provoking and allow the viewer to imagine a story behind the clock or watch. I also believe that the titles give the pictures life. I hope you enjoy the collection, and learn to appreciate the beauty of these simple objects in our life!
I think the wide angle (and the S90's barrel distortion, which I don't think iPhoto's RAW convertor is dealing with) makes this look a bit weird. Maybe it's just the circular tiling patterns, though.

This Clock is a rarity, they heard my grandfather who unfortunately died of cancer, so this uhralt Clock.
Clocks from the Renwez Forest Museum gift shop we visited in the Ardennes. Their animal is the Wild Boar... there is delicious beer with wild boar on the label and restaurants seem to have at least one taxidermied boar head on the wall...
A tricky thing to photograph, but this gold-plated clock (the Chronophage) was the idea of John Taylor, a past student of Corpus Christi. Some 200 enigineers, scientists and designers were involved and it was unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking. The extraordinary locust creature was created by Matthew Sanderson. Telling the time isn't easy, as bright blue LEDs flash on it (you can just see two if you look hard).
This is a photo from a happy customer, showing how well this can work in the home. We also have other styles not shown in this or the below picture.
