As per usual I seem to be running behind on this challenge, but I have hopefully made good on something a little more interesting.
I needed some better images of my Fob Watch for an image I was working on…
So I thought I might actually set up a little mini photo shoot, with my Fob Watch as the star. I have had this particular watch for nearly 30 years and there is a sad little story to go along with it, maybe one day I’ll go into details, but it was a whole other life ago. I dragged it out of hiding perhaps a little more than a year ago and it has sweet bitter memories, but now I am creating new memories, sweet, funny and creative memories. So I set myself up for 5 minutes, using one studio light and my Nifty Fifty.
Oh and they are not in B&W………just very little colour π silver watch, white cloth, grey stoneware bowl.

Lovely images. There is something very reassuring about a fob watch that wristwatches don’t have.

There have been several of your pictures that have stirred me. I just haven’t asked permission to borrow them. My head has been in a weird place for awhile. Maybe I’m back.

you can always borrow my images for your beautiful poetry. I think a lot of people have been feeling a bit ‘OFF’ myself included……….don’t know why, more emotional than what is normal for me anyway. Glad you are back and feeling more yourself

I keep a pocket watch that my Grandmother gave me. Some things just don’t go out of style.
