Splendid work, this is great!

The steady drip, drip, drip ......

Yeah, Time doesnt stop for anything. It just goes on and on without mercy for us oldies :) Excellent and clever image :-)

The past & the future are human concepts - real life occurs as a succession of experiences that exist only in the present moment. A creative & richly textured image...

Great idea, a bit unsettling because I know time is running, but I don't know how many time is gone and how many is left! Great work!

The image is worthy for the subject alone---a great clock, without hands, with wonderful soiling and decay and still a real sheen. But the "filter" is your eye: You've made this deep and intense, the shadow really intensifies the clock; we get to see a few numbers in light so they shine, whereas the others are deep black, and I can't figure out what that "pail" is, dangling on a thin cord, beneath the center. Maybe that tells the time? I can't say. It sure makes an evocative 'presence' in this clock's face---like it has the sands of time in it. I know someone who has a large Soviet watch collection, and there was a great art to the Soviet designers of the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. I could be wrong, but that squared off number design looks Soviet to me. It could just be typical early modern. But it's got a certain style, modern and simple, yet rigid. It's a powerful solo shot, and I love your light and shadow and the textures that they create---a great shot of a clock, feeling ancient somehow. And it's steeped in a sense of yearning and sense of the past...Terrific work, as always. Very suited to your subject.

I do like the Steam-punk feel to the custom made clock face, the round frame may have been a ceiling light-fitting at one stage and then removed the glass-cover, sort of a recycled clock now, I believe in recycling: "what's old - is new again" ;))) ... however, I think when the bucket is full - the full hour has struck and time keeps just drip-dripping away - but nobody can tell the time anymore! ;) irresistible find Nikolay, (I know I couldn't resist) BB

I like the feeling this has. The grime gives it a sense of the past, of a thing no longer useful, but the light makes me feel like it's alive and has purpose. The addition of the bucket, which seems to be full of light, gives the image a bit of mystery. Perhaps the bucket is a reference to something that doesn't translate into English, but whatever the inspiration, the result is compelling!

There is so much to say about this image, but it's hard for me to approach. As always, there's a wonderful sense of elegance here, and a very distinct sense of ambiguous reality. What's more ambiguous than a clock that doesn't keep time. It acknowledges the presence of time, but not as something to be cut into bite-sized seconds, minutes, or hours. Time is something else, and no clock has ever measured it, since the real purpose of a clock is simply to measure other clocks. In that sense, time becomes an agreement between all clocks, but not a thing in and of itself. Whether or not that has anything to do with this image is a discussion for some other time, but I will say that this image sparks many, many thoughts and philosophical ruminations. It's a brilliant, perfect image that says so little while also saying nothing at all. I like that paradox, and the serenity of it. This is brilliant.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that in the fictional country of Agara (that odd place that occasional erupts into my gallery) traditional clocks are built without hands, but for some odd reason, everyone knows what time it is. Funny how that works.
