Of Time and Memory

Dear all,

you might have already seen two photos of this series on my project 365 blog, I posted two other photos there last week.

Recently I found some old, broken pocket watches at my grandmothers house (my grand-grandfather was a watch maker). The next day I was thinking about how I could use these for my photography. In the end I used some sewing cotton to attach the watches to a tree in my parents garden and played a little with some extreme depth of field.

I’m not certain about the meaning of theses photos, or what I wanted to intend shooting them. Just thinking about time and some things of the past. I’m curious for your opinion on these.

Enjoy & take care,

Jimi

Very creative! Reminds me of the liquid clocks of Salvador Dali 🙂

I think they’re particularly moving, in that the trees were in their bare state. Time passing, waiting. Stopped?
