Abreast of the Time

The last image of this watch was removed.

 

Feedback appreciated.

 

Should there be anyone lookingfor my more daring work, you can always do a search for me on http://www.photopoints.com/main/photos/photographer.aspx?ID=2244>photopoints where I have uploaded some of mydeleted images and where I will be uploading more soon.

This is very well done as usual. Composition is strong with excellent ballance. I hope time will continue to march on.

 

-Cheers

This is a great shot from a very intersting and original angle. Title is spot on, but if you removed the watch it would be a "time-less masterpiece" :)

As long as she's not timing me (no second-hand jokes, please).

Would be a funy and original way to present watches ! :-)

Very nice picture.

Cheers,

Marc

 

i find this one much more artistic and imaginative than your "beaver" shots. i like this. thanks for posting it.

The engineers at Swatch are working as I type, to try and figure out a way for women to wear their timepieces there. It would be the perfect way for men to oogle with a good excuse. "Ma'am, do you have the time?" Not to mention a new venue for post-it-notes. "A stitch in time, saves nine" and you always keep me in stitches. Now, I just have to figure out a schedule to visit Hong Kong.;-)JH

very pun ie! The time is clearly two minutes past the nipple.

David how long did watch take to travel from pubis to the present location? Did you shoot it on the way before it reached this location? If any please post.

Traveling with time, I can see many such themes intertwined in this series, very nice.

;-) nice shot. She looks a bit cold.

Owen, Thanks Owen. You are a great support. Life is good as long as we always have time to take photos.

 

Kevin, I don't like it when people make jokes that are funnier than mine. Seriously! You brought a huge smile to my face with your comment. Keep them coming.

 

Mark, 'Second hand jokes.' Any examples?

 

Marc, I thought the original shot was better. However, it seems that the original shot was too much for P.N. Thanks for the comment.

 

Spider, Each to their own but I would never have referred to any of my shots or women in the manner in which you did.

 

Jim, Glad this amused you. I should point out to you that not all women in Hong Kong wear their watches here. You may disappointed.

 

David, Your comment reminds me of a joke.

What time does a famous black singer.... now white go to bed?

When the big hand touches the little hand.

 

Satvinder, It took a few days. The models are different.

 

Alex, What makes you say that?

 

Thanks everyone. The deleted image can be seen here. Click at your own risk.

The goosebumps were unintentional but I feel they work very well here. The watch was cold. When I placed it on her she shivered.

 

Personally speaking, I think the arm adds to the composition. People will see photos in different ways.

 

Thanks for taking the time and I hope to see you commenting on more photos soon. Perhaps you may upload some of your own.

Doug, The arm is a clear finishing point and is a clear barrier blocking of the lower half of her body. I do not know how to explain what I do. I just do it and look for reactions. You can view a similar picture I did on this theme by clicking here.

 

Thanks for taking the time.

Doug, I know why I do things.... I just don't know how to explain them.

Thanks John but no crack... just the light I guess. As for recognising my images.... you are one better than me... I do not think I have any discernable style.

Regarding recognisable style: With the above comments of John Peri, unquestionably an expert witness with a recognisable style of his own, I rest my case.

 

 

John, Forgive me! I am a more than a little slow today. It must be the change in weather.

 

George, John, most definitely, has style. I am not sure what it is I have but I am glad both you and John recognise it.

Pour thing: shes freeezing...

Any particular reason why you didn't go for the ten-to-ten classic setting of the hands on the watch?

I do love the symetry in the picture

 

I am not sure how to answer you without sounding sarcastic. Here goes anyway.

 

You say the classic 10 - 10 setting of the hands. I think you mean 10 after 10. (10 minutes and 31 seconds after 10 on the 28th to be precise.)

 

Firstly this is not a Rolex.

 

Secondly I decided to shoot the watch as I found it.

 

She's not as cold as you appears. (Read earlier comments.)

 

Thanks for taking the time.

Cute David. Obviously its a TIMEX - "Takes a lick'n and keeps on tick'n". LOL! :-)

A Timex.... I am saddened to think you think I would own such a thing.

i personally like the goosebumps; haven't quite made my mind up about the arm - it's nice in that it breaks the symmetry but if it's doing that, i tend to want some more of it shown; also, maybe this is too low res but it feels like the focus is centered on the front band of the watch, putting the nipples slightly soft - personally they lie so close to the watch's plane i would've liked to see them sharp, but otherwise the depth of field works well.

David, why does this sadden you? I keep it as the benchmark to set the time on my Rollex. ;-)

Jeff, The focus was meant to be on the 6 of the watch. I would agree with you, it does seem to be on the front watch strap. I am glad you like it overall. Once again thanks for taking the time.

 

Thomas, If your Rolex has Rollex on it, I can understand why you set it with a Timex.

Certainly did not mean to offend you. I could not think of an appropriate way to describe your shots other than that. For future use, what is the proper terminology?
