“Weekly Photography Challenge #733 The Weight of Time!

[Tersha]

Starting a new set ‘VisualMetaphors’ with The Weight of Time!
Capture the essence of time using visual metaphors.
Consider … planning, storytelling, emotions, thoughtful composition, light/shadow, symbolism, narrative.

[Patrick]

This sounds brilliant Tersha 🙂

[Tersha]

I’d love to take credit Patrick, but the ideas is either Dahlias or Robs.

[Wendy P]

A neat Titanic vibe on the bottom picture! Cool.

[Wendy P]

Dust to Dust

[Patrick]

This is good but i would hate to smell it lol

[Robert Apple]

You would have been fine Patrick, it was so old it didn’t even smell anymore.

[Patrick]

It is funny Robert , i love fishing but don’t eat fish and i cannot take the smell of fish cooking especially sea fish , my family all love fish and when i was coming home from school my dad had the whole house stinking with it cooking , i opened the door and got knocked out with the smell of it then i learned to hold my nose and run straight upstairs and close my room door ..tight  🙂

[Michael]

[Wendy P]

Very interesting!

[Patrick]

They don’t make them like this anymore , cool frame 🙂

[Elin Laxdal]

Great image Michael – something you have inherited ?

[Michael]

Elin, no not inherited. I have owned several Ford Model T’s for over 30 years. This is an image I captured in rural Ohio during a Ford Model T rally that I was participating in. I added the frame and tint to enhance the feeling of the era when Model T’s were dominant. Driving a Model T is unlike any modern vehicle. The controls are totally different than what we are used to today.

[Patrick]

The Weight of Time weight’s heavy on the land and on the soul

[Holly K]

Great texture and storytelling.

[Patrick]

Thank you so much Holly 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Growing up in the great Depression

[Patrick]

Beautiful photo Robert 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Patrick, I have no Idea who took it , the little boy was my father in law , since passed on ,  I know his family was much to poor to own a camera, or much of any thing else.

[Patrick]

Hard times , if they had only a pinch of what we have today ..tough people that is for sure.

[Patrick]

Robert would you happen to know or have an idea how this would have been printed back then.

Just Curious 🙂

[Robert Apple]

@patrickw-2 no Sir I don’t , this is from a scan of a photo on old photo paper that was breaking down and had no kind of brand mark on it , it was definitely before the days of color though.

[Patrick]

Was just wondering on the methods , i bet it was not Hahnemuhle haha

[Holly K]

Fascinating photo of life long ago.

[Patrick]

Agreed , I thought the same thing as you Holly

[Elin Laxdal]

This is a great photograph Robert. Might be platinum or silver gelatine.

[Tersha]

[Wendy P]

Nice symbolism, Tersha. Life overcoming death?

[Tersha]

Thanks Wendy, it’s really however you interpret it. ‘Life overcoming death’ is good. I saw skull/death, butterfly/new life, chains/weight.

[Patrick]

Striking image Tersha , nice work.

[Tersha]

Thanks Patrick.

[Elin Laxdal]

Great work Diane – Hamlet was my first thought.

[Pat Garrett]

[Elin Laxdal]

[Pat Garrett]

[Elin Laxdal]

Thank you Pat 🙂

[Patrick]

A stitch in time 🙂 , skills to pay the bills as well 🙂 nice take on the theme Elin

[Elin Laxdal]

Thank you Patrick – great to have in your hands while the storms are raging outside.

[Patrick]

My two sisters are just the same , my youngest sister made me a good thick wool throw over , i put it on the end of my bed .. keeps the my twinkles warmer haha 🙂

My grandma on my mum’s side was always the same jumpers , hats gloves , kids knitwear 🙂

[Elin Laxdal]

Ha ha – grateful if people want to wear the products 🙂

[Patrick]

The stuff you can make yourself is far superior quality to what you find in most shops , last years longer even if it gets a bit baggy 🙂

[Elin Laxdal]

So true – plus it is loaded with love …

[Patrick]

🙂

[Tersha]

[Tersha]

[Patrick]

The whimbrel ? , gorgeous bird no matter  what a spot for it to stand on 🙂

A red-listed species 🙁

[ElinL]

Yes, this spot that has been weighted down by hundreds – maybe thousands of years of whimbrel-poo. You find him standing there every spring ind May and June telling the raven and other predators to mind their own business 🙂

[Patrick]

Happy days 🙂 gorgeous Bird

[Patrick]

[ElinL]

Miss having this kind of architecture to shoot – nice frame !
