Against Time

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

This is a chilling, emotional image...for me, you have definitely achieved a captivating statement. Wow. Great work!

at first the hand looked relaxed, but then once my eyes took in the whole picture it gave the hand a look of it clutching for more time and cringing at the thought of death. Chillin to the bone

Should have stopped down more to get the hand in focus, the image is a good idea.

Impresive photo.

I was also rather scared when I saw the photo. Really emotionaly thrilling. Very symbolic.

Hola Raphael,

 

Mis mejores deseos para que la Navidad junto a los tuyos este llena de dicha y felicidad y que el 2006 venga cargado de bellas imagenes y mejores momentos.

 

Un abrazo

I love this with the title! I did not figure that out until I saw the title but then...Great work!

Trying to hang on to time? Strong emotional composition with the aged hand & the time.

Very good composition and the title is very conforming. Congrats !

your photo evokes how life is ever present and that it can only be lived moment to moment.

Very well said by the picture itself. We all wished that time could be stopped at somepoint, right?! Life goes on!!!

ALL your comments are highly appreciated. Avery, thanks for your comments, you are so right. Let's plan a get together. I am so glad that you were able to see my photographs. Best regards to Estaban. Raphael

"Every noon as the clock hands arrive at twelve/I want to tie the two arms together/And walk out of the bank carrying time in bags." I was trying to think of a way to "photograph" these lines from the poem "Wanting to Steal Time," by R. Bly. After seeing this wonderful image I guess I should give up on the idea. You have a beautiful, inspiring portfolio.
