Fast
Nothing has ever, or will ever, move as fast as time. I know this because just yesterday I thought I had lots of time to sort out my photo for Day 2, but by some cruel twist of fate, I suddenly had no time at all. Which is why it's now way past midnight, and I'm busy making a long-exposure shot of a clock and trying to schedule this post while frantically trying to figure out how many hours of sleep I'll be getting tonight.

If I had a time machine, I wouldn't go back to visit with Jesus, or Abraham Lincoln, or even to the night of my high school prom, which was pretty significant to me if memory serves correctly. Nope, I'd go back to the minute right before we had the idea to do this 30 Days of Photographs thing, and I'd distract you with a magic trick or something so that it never, ever got off the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe end.
that's pretty cool. love the long exposure shot. and you are so right, nothing moves as fast as time - except at my place of employment. :) great day 2!
ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding- I'm late for work!! AHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? My iPhone3 doesn't do time exposures? I want my money back!
ReplyDeleteI have camera envy! Mine won't do that...what a GREAT shot! AND idea!
ReplyDeleteGroucho Marx once said "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." One of my all time favourite sayings. Nice pic.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to come up with a funny comment and realized that in doing so, I'm now late for work. That's irony, right?
ReplyDeleteI'm building a time machine today.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, yes it is. You really ought to come up with your funny comments faster. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that quote, and I know it's one of your favourites. ;) When I was writing the post I actually thought about it and about you.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely get your money back!
ReplyDeleteOops, I hope it wasn't my fault!
ReplyDeleteYeah, some things do seem to move faster than should be reasonably possible.. ;)
ReplyDeleteOhh, magic?
ReplyDeleteNothing moves as fast as time except when you are trying to take a long-exposure picture...
ReplyDeleteNice shot!!!!
Time is not on our side, is it? The Rolling Stones weren't right. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, right! The longest 207 seconds of my life.
ReplyDeleteSadly, it certainly is not..
ReplyDeleteSweet! Really well done, Ziva.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl! I loved your photo, too, but it wouldn't let me leave a comment. I'll check back later and see if it'll work. :)
ReplyDeletePerfect for today's theme. And you're right, nothing moves faster than time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Meleah!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this thing you call sleep? I've linked up - again thank you for hosting!

Sleep - something you always want but never have enough of. Much like chocolate. ;)
ReplyDeleteLike that old song says, "Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'..." , well you know the rest. Love this shot, Zeva.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret! Time is indeed a slippery thing...
ReplyDeleteGood one, Ziva. Quick! Catch that clock!
ReplyDeleteHey Ziva! Now THIS is a nice photo. I can compose photos, but have minimal talent with the technical side. I'll buy a camera and a book sometime! Indigo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Reffie! That clock is just too quick for me, and it has a tendency to always make me late. Stupid thing.
ReplyDeleteHey Indigo, it's nice to see you here. I'm glad you like the photo; it took me three tries to get it right, so I can't claim to be all that good with the technical side, either. But at least photography is a lot of fun to play around with.
ReplyDeleteFinally! Disqus has been quite the bitch lately.
ReplyDeleteOne day, you'll have to shoot a video to show us how to do that. It's really a cool looking shot - the shadow on the face of the clock and contrast on either side. Did you use a flash?
Tempus fugits, my girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm also unable to leave comments on Cheryl's blog (and John's), leading me to believe she's blocked us. Not that I'm paranoid or anything.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Nicky. Please let me know if you need to borrow my flux capacitor or some AA batteries. Anything to get this project off the ground.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lauren! It's really not too tricky to do. No flash, just a dark room (in this case the only light source was my laptop screen off to the side, that's what created the light and shadow,) a tripod and a camera that will allow long exposures. :)
