About this Series, Saturday 23rd February
2002
I was already thinking when driving from Bangkok to Hua Hin how to
photograph this watch, what background to use, what props to be included to make
this series special. If you
shot many series already, you feel like you have to deliver something even more
exciting.
And then it turned out to be so natural and easy. I did not even really notice, what my
wife was doing...I was making sure, Reya would stay in her rubber boat and my
wife occasionally said, please hold the watch still. That is how those water
shots were taken. I was holding Reya in her rubber boat with one arm and just
stretched the watch wrist into direction of the camera. Of course I was
instinctively checking, that my body would be blocking direct light ;-)
Back in the apartment I told my wife if I could get some macro shots. I told
here that I was especially interested to see the tachometer scale at 65 km/h,
but I did not tell her more. You will find out why, when looking at the last
picture ;-)
PS The watch is not in my collection anymore
