Time ... great subject for photography...I don't live near the Big Ben or any other great or well known time piece or clock.
However I think we have all been forced into an awareness concerning time. When to get up and get somewhere on time, turning homework in on time so there are no penalties, projects at work to be turned in on time, waiting for others due to lack of time management, missing a plane(twice and once an international flight) due to not being there on time, obligations at home ...dinner, laundry, date nights, church getting there on time, out on time, meetings and reports on time. Lastly, making time out for yourself.
Over the years I have had many watches, which I still all but one(it was stolen from me in the late 80's..I bought it in 75 for $300..paid on it through layaway, special ordered it because I was allergic to back cases on watches, 14K yellow gold, stolen when I forgot to put back in case by ex-boyfriends workers in our house, appraised and valued at the time at $2800...had my initials engraved on back. STOLEN and broke by heart).
In order are my watches including my first, a pendant from my father, it needs a new chain and it was painted bright green, my first purchase, a watch Timex and I recently replaced the band for $10.00, I only paid less than $25 for the watch, fad watches, 2 watches from former employees, several watches I bought to help control my weight/health, and church watches in gold, black and white ceramic. I've kept them all for the memories and to be on time to appointments. Guess what? Unless it's work, I'm still not there exactly on time! Not bragging, just need watch batteries!
For the particulars of this contest I used my Samsung Galaxy S3 to take this picture on a light green sage cover on my bed.
