Monday Photo Shoot

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Monday, February 25, 2008


Even though we often get the time from our computers and cell phones these days, nearly everyone still has several clocks in the house. There are also lots of memorable clocks out there in the wide world. From historic clock towers to the smallest travel alarms, let's see some interesting clocks!

Darn, you, Karen! I'd planned to do a whole lot of nothing today. In fact, I was going to post this shot from my archives:

Macro clock

But then I remembered a clock that's been sitting in my closet for years. I'd picked it up at a flea market several years ago because I was taken by the design. So I dug it out (hey! I knew exactly where it was! What a shock!), cleaned it up, replaced the bulb, and set up a shot:

Say, Kids! What Time is it?

In case you can't tell, the logo at the bottom says TELE-VISION. I'd guess this clock is at least fifty years old.

It's not the best shot, but it's something new. And now I can go back and let the cold meds sink in!

The digital numeral is very fancy. Even when you're sick you take wonderful photos. That vintage clock is amazing.

I loved the first shot - the green with either water or mist over it. How did you do that? The television clock is also cool.

The single digit is actually from the clock on my oven. The "mist" was condensation. I think I shot that in August. Hot and humid!
