Sometimes I don't "go for" very simplified images, but I really enjoy this one. I feel like it is so simple that it resonates with everyone...... those numbers are so universal, but the circumstances surrounding the time could be any number of things.
These are my photographs. My process is very slow, very deliberate. I use a turn of the century wooden camera, and expose my prints in the sun. The process, the presence of my hand in every part of it, is important to me.
It is a technique that would seem at odds with the internet.
But my subject has always been humanity in its beauty and frailty, its dreams and its glorious need to connect.
This is the next path to that. So, I put my pictures here.
Beneath each entry is a link to a journal entry with a less considered photograph, and some thoughts on the work.

This reminds me of times I wake up early, anxious about something, and can't get back to sleep...Both wishing for and dreading the passage of time...
Exactly! I didn't have to get up until 5:30, but... yeah. Damn those illuminated numbers!

Thank you. It was a very accidental image, I was barely awake and I hate that little camera. It is encouraging to hear that it worked for you.
