'08 Assignment- "Set in Stone" Due November 30th

[Patm1313]

Hey there Big Bully, unfortunately I never got around to taking an image of the other half of the sundial. It was starting to rain that day, so I had to take my shot and make a run for my car. However, the sundial itself is a memorial to Air India Flight 182 which was bombed in 1985, and the face of it is inscribed with the famous phrase, "Time flies, suns rise, shadows fall, let it pass by, love reigns over all."

That quote is now added into my sig because it's so amazing.

I'm really happy to see the replies I've gotten in this thread. All are extremely good pictures, and I like the way that some take on a more literal meaning of the theme while others don't.

Keep up with the great shots!

How sad. Well your shot is fantastic. Thank you for finishing that quote for me though!

This is my first post. The shot was taken with my P&S. I've since been given a Canon Rebel xti. It's taking me a while to get the hang of it, but I'm having fun learning. Anyway, I thought this picture fit the assignment.

Fantastic shot! Welcome to the forum. Some great shots are taken with P&S cameras, don't knock it. It's the photographer who composes the photograph. The camera merely records what the photographer tells it to!

Here's a statue of a Confederate soldier in the square in my home town, he resides over a buried 120 y/o time capsule that no one has the balls to did up,lol.

 

[Big Bully]

Hmm and your home town is where?? lol

Here's a picture of my fiance out on the rocks along Lake Michigan. Somehow I created this with a half-broken Nikon EM 35mm camera with B&W film. I really love this picture, even with the blown out sky.

 

[Kegger]

Hmm and your home town is where?? lol

Franklin, TN. 25 minutes south of Nashville.

 

[Big Bully]

Hmmm... I have enough guts to dig it up.. lol

 

[Kegger]

You have to take down the statue to get to it. That's why no one will dig it up, lol.

I would, but being a southerner at heart I would never dare disgrace a confederate soldier.
