The inner workings of a pendulum clock. The rod coming up from the bottom is attached to the pendulum and the other end is attached to the anchor. At either end of the anchor are the pallets. The motion of the pendulum causes the anchor to rock back and forth. The pallets alternately catch and hold the pointed teeth of the escape wheel. This give the clock its tic toc sound. This was my grandfather’s grandfather clock.

I receive a lot of emails asking me where I get my 'Little People' from. Well, I have decided to share a little secret with all of you.
The answer is I catch them using Tic Tacs.

... De un segundo a otro puede irse todo a la mierda.
De un segundo a otro puedes descubrir que todo lo que creías verdad, era mentira.
De un segundo a otro puedes darte cuenta de que ya no eres tan fuerte como antes.
Todo cambia, es inevitable. Así, de repente. Sin más, sin que podamos hacer nada para evitarlo.
De un segundo a otro puede ser que la vida pille una rabieta y te lance al vacío.
Tic-tac...
... El tiempo apremia.
Season of Tilt
Week 12, Wednesday
For me, photography means one psychological way to deal with a fact that I may die tomorrow. I often forget this option that apply to all of us and it makes me sad. With photography I sense better the time that's passes on every second. It forces me to hear that very quiet but continuous ticking sound that says my time is running. Eventually that sound will someday suddenly stop and I have to face the inevitable death. In death it's not just our body that dies, but also life we lived, memories we had, things we believed in and fostered. Photography lets me see this uniquity of life and preserve at least something of it. Not just for me, but for the generations that become after, my children's children and so on. I hope to leave behind photographs which will raise questions in those who find them. When they look the photographs I've took, I hope they will ask who are these people? How did they live? What was it like then? In a way photography is a way to communicate with those who will come after us. We watch them and they watch us silently through the photographs we left behind.

While this photograph is not shot within five days, like I stated in my own rules, I still wanted to share it with you, because it is another good example of the Edge 80 smoothness. With this picture of my brother, I wanted to recreate some of the same feeling which is so strong with the work of Albert Kahn. It's an important picture for me and I wanted just to capture my brother there in a woodshed without anything too much planned before (shot in available light and circumstances). I must say I really like the smooth out-of-focus character which Edge 80 gives for this picture. It adds just right amount of visual interest in picture and doesn't come out as a too obvious effect. However, I must say that coming from OSS and autofocus equipped Sony lenses, there is a bit of learning curve with Lensbaby. Not just you have to get used to manual focus, but tilting the lens and adjusting the out-of-focus area (which moves even with tiny movement of camera) makes it a bit of a challenge. With this shot I needed to resort to tripod and a good amount of patience when adjusting right amount of smoothness, but I think it was very much worth it. Now it just need to wait for, say one hundred years.

qui c'è l'altra foto che ho pubblicato tempo fa
En poques hores, el foc reiniciarà el cicle de nou i, malgrat la pluja o el vent, els fallers continuaran sent indomables 😉.
En pocas horas, el fuego reiniciará el ciclo de nuevo y, a pesar de la lluvia o el viento, los falleros seguirán siendo indomables 😉.
In a few hours, the fire will restart the cycle once again, and despite the rain or the wind, the Fallas devotees will remain indomitable 😉.
