Seize what time cannot hold.

The practice

Three objects carry the work.

A field watch on a cold wrist, resting on a snowy fence rail.

The watch

To keep the time.

A rangefinder gripped in a cut hand, brass through the black paint, rain on the sleeve.

The camera

To take the time.

The notebook half out of a coat pocket, the cover worn soft, a hand resting on it.

The notebook

To say what it meant.

Four shadows

One brass pin in a stone. I come back at solar noon each season and photograph the only thing that moves: its shadow. Long and blue in January, almost gone by June.

Winter: the pin and its shadow at solar noon.
