Our time is running out... by Edward Platero
Our time is running out…
Choosing my project for the National Photo Book Month. I originally chose to do the theme of long exposure photography. Being that I could only take photos in certain lighting conditions, the idea became very difficult to finish, and I ran out of time. This morning, November 30th, I was out of time, and could not finish the project. Disappointed in myself for procrastinating, I gave up. I was kicking myself for not choosing a theme that was easier to execute. Then it came to me. I am a big procrastinator, and time always seems to be against me, so I thought, what if I did the entire project in one day, documenting the time in between shots. Using time as my theme now, I picked up an alarm clock and went out shooting. The time that is displayed on the clock, it the actual time of the photo. All Photos were taken on Monday, November 30th, 2009 I present to you my entry into NaPhoBoMoDay. Download my book in PDF format here.
