I watched a play at school with the kids this week called "Made in Sheffield". It was based around the Vulcan at the top of the Town Hall and the Buffer girl in the clock at Orchard Square. We had to pop into town today, so I thought I'd take my camera to try and capture them both. It has made me restart my Sheffield project.
This image depicts my alarm clock in my room and was taken at a time of 4:30 am, as shown on the clock. The context of this photo is that I was up late at night because I couldn't sleep, and it captures my overall desire for more sleep in my life.
This relates to my identity because as a college student, I am usually up late doing homework or studying for exams. I also struggle with sleep issues and falling asleep, which couples my desire for more sleep with my desire to be able to fall asleep earlier in general. In addition, I chose this particular alarm clock because of its features and also its aesthetic. Because I tend to not get enough sleep (again, showing my desire for sleep) I also tend to have a hard time waking up in the morning. This alarm clock came with a device that you can put in your pillow that vibrates to wake you up if you are a deep sleeper like me who sometimes sleeps through their alarms. Aesthetically, it fits the overall grayscale color scheme of my room which is very minimalist with white furniture. Even though one of my desires is more sleep which is symbolized with this alarm clock, the specific alarm clock I chose was a result of advertisers manipulating my desire to lead me to buy the one that had extra features and went with my room.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
- W. H. Auden
Just playing with my new lighting set-up. I have always been fascinated by this crystal clock and wanted to play with lighting glass (or crystal in this case)
...time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.”

Kern Jewelers used to occupy this space on Woodward Avenue. The building was demolished in 1966, but the clock was preserved. After Compuware built its HQ on the site, it paid to restore and and the clock and install it near its original location.
Owari clock needs some work. Laquered case pretty loose at all joints, broken trim. Movement dirty and not running.
The Bundy clock was an American invention used by transport companies to monitor timekeeping. The driver would have to insert a key at the stop in order to record his progress on a paper tape. The letters BCT stand for Birmingham City Transport, and these clocks date back to the tram era. As I recall, this one was still in use in 1974 on the Outer Circle bus route, which also featured some of the oldest buses still running then.

this is the clock notice board outside the local Primary School. I knew that the clock was there but waited till Saturday, when the school was closed, before taking my camera up to the corner by the school. I am lucky that this clock notice board runs 24/7 not just in school hours. Not only did I get to find out what time of day it was but also when to buy school uniforms and the air temperature outside. Nice warm sunny winter's day!
