About this Series, June 17th 2002
Yesterday Rob B visited us and we had a great time talking about watches and
the world. Rob is really a generous and courageous person, because he left 3
pocket watches at my home, so I could photograph them. He actually said "Play
around with them". I could never do that, but today I had to take some quick
pictures of the silver Elgin.
I rushed the series, because I did not wanted that movement to get
unnecessary dust. Only after I had bought the Coolpix 995, I started realizing
how much dust is in the air everywhere, just from our clothes, you move your arm, even you
wear a T-Shirt, there is an outfall of cotton fibers. It is just amazing what
you can see under the sharp eyes of a digital cameras or under a microscope for
that matter. I am looking forward to the days, my daughter will need one for
school :-) then I can even move closer to the movements.
