I have this book as a reminder of an

It survived Hurricane Huge, 1989

It will not survive mildew and TIME,
for this, we have photographs.

Thank you for the opportunity to start my thread

found. I think it will be a journey of tears and laughter.
Smile a lot, cry little, feel passionately,

Ah yes, the ravages of time. Time marches on. Memories are the rewards given by time. Looking forward to lots of images in the next two weeks. I'll be in San Francisco Oct 7-11. Maybe a different venue will give me some new opportunities.

Ginger,
I still have my grandmother's Book of Common Prayer that she used when she was a young girl. I belong to the Anglican Church of Canada, and although the regular service has changed somewhat over the last several decades, we still have one service a month that uses the BCP.
Knowing that I share this connection of prayer and worship with my family members before me is one of the reasons I am an Anglican.
Your post evokes a lot of feelings and memories ...
Thanks,
Brad

Two nice kick-offs for the "time" challenge... Good Luck this challenge.

I like the first two images.
The rest don't really speak to the theme, IMO.
I find the first touching, and I don't even know what it is, really. Raised by humanists--no religious background to speak of. So I don't really understand the significance of the book, but the significance is there in the image. I can feel its value. And the passage of time.

This is great. Too bad it seems a little out of focus. It's a great idea.

On the part time shot, I specifically said what it was, in case you wondered.

Yeah, I understand about shooting through the glass. I think the camera focuses on the glass instead of what's inside. :puke1
Gosh you're finding such great stuff. Where did you find all this. Is it in an area of shops? I sure hope I find some good stuff in San Francisco.

If I actually used it.............now that would complicate things.:roll
Thank you for your input. I am leaning, it is not my favorite image, but it is my most personal, I am leaning towards the first photo, the book I got at confirmation in 1955.
My favorite photo is the Time Of Shame. I like that because it is not really an object, I mean it is a real house, and supposed to be original, but the way I did it up, it is colors.............. I always wanted to do that, and this is the best I have ever done.
Last time I had nothing, now I have more than I need. I am not going to take photos today. Just resting, playing music. I have a giant of a headache.
I had an idea last night that I can't remember anymore. I have an idea, still, I just don't know how to do it, want to do it before anyone else does.
Maybe I should do a bad one, just get my idea in first, lol.
Thanks so much for checking in.

I like your photography...the sundial is really well done.

It was unusual this time as there was dew on it. (I started early) That probably added. Then I put a brown overlay on. Don't know if I burnt it in, or if I used vivid light. That probably helped with the dew.
Oh, in case anyone misunderstands, the photograph was taken Monday morning. Anything that stands still, I can do that with. I make decisions like that. I can let the slave cabin go and get the same photo for some other challenge, but that confirmation book, it is a one time thing, I think. Also, anything with people. I will take them over an inanimate object.
This time the sundial was covered with dew, I have never seen that before. Maybe this is its day. Guess I will see.

Thanks for stopping by.
Another great photo!!! I really like the "A LifeTime Ago". It gives the sense of time without showing a timepiece. It is a very moving picture .. though I wonder what it would look like in black and white?
I also like your first picture. You are right there is a lot of meaning of time there in the pages!!!!
I am amazed at how many pictures you are getting!!!!! I had a hard time getting one!!!! I have some ideas though, just not sure I will have the time to take them .. haha..

Last time I had zip. I usually do have something early. I knew I wanted that last shot, a person with a picture when they were young. My husband doesn't have one. I don't have any more people.
So I didn't know how to do that, didn't want to give the idea up. Grabbed that shot and a blue shirt late in the afternoon, yesterday. Sat down on the walkway in our tiny backyard where so much photography happens. After I figured out how to get the photo and me together, I remembered that some people think it is a snapshot if you are looking at the camera, so I tried a few where I was looking at, towards, whatever, the photo. This was the best, and somewhat of a miracle.............
I have been doing self portraits since I got my first digital, but it is more difficult with the Rebel, and with a picture, not looking at the camera................... Well, I think I have "did" it.
Should take the dogs to the beach, just want to sit here.

thanks
****You'll have to excuse my Aussie ignorance here, but am I correct in assuming this has something to do with slave labour ???**** PLEASE IGNORE
Me slaps head and makes mental note to read all messages in thread prior to posting, after reading Gingers reply previous page.
That would be a lot of careful reading. We all miss stuff.
However, I love that you like that picture. I do too, and I know it is not received that well, generally.
So, I love to hear from someone who does like it.

Although it is darker, I like the first picture of the prayer book better than the other two. The first one has a much softer feel to it.

OOOPS - I didn't realize that this was different from the first picture you posted. I take my comment back. These are also more great pictures!!

The book as a square, the bottom bothers me. It is just not as impressive as the more arty ones.
The book as a rectangle, that did capture the books age and the feel of nostalgia, actual pain for me. It can be difficult to be a grown up. What bothers me about this one is the composition. There is that room at the top, for no reason, too much, my gut tells me. I could try to redo it, but I am going to stare and see if I want that, I just don't feel like it is "enough". For me, I mean.
The Time Of Shame, you all know I like the graphics, the flat, 2 D look, with the colors dominating. It is not really a subject, to me, it is line and colors.
I like that.

I save the sundial.......
Is it moving? No, then it is Charleston Time.
I've been away for over a week and I am now just looking at the posts for this challenge. I really love this shot! You have so much creative juice flowing through you!
The '1955' date is just subtle enough to be seen and the connection with time is obvious.
Well done!
