Time

My interpretation of the topic is so loose this week I think I need to provide a lengthy explanation! I had several ideas which sort of fit together and hopefully create a legit sense of "Time". Awhile ago I saw some photography work done by a man who combines his regular photography work with fantasy photo montage - kind of like mystery cards only with his own photographs. He shoots a variety of different photos for a given project then spends hours layering them in photoshop to come up with a single fantasy image. The catch is both he and his cat always appear in the image (http://www.mattijn.com/index.htm). The first picture below is my take on his idea, though not nearly as well done. Three individual photos layered to create one single image. THAT image represents TIME to me in two ways: the time it took working in photoshop to layer the images (and attempt to blend them) and the images themselves representing time we found to enjoy our first snowstorm of the season. The dogs got to frolic, Patrick got to play on his back hoe and I got to try my new x-country skis (Patrick got to ski too, but I have opted not to create his double for this image :o). Below the montage are two pics of Orzo - I have included them mainly because I loved them (couldn't decide between the two so you get both) but also because this was the first snowstorm of his young doggie life. He absolutely loved it! We spent a lot of TIME outdoors before all the snow melted 2 days later.... :o(
