Sammy was passing through Toronto a couple years ago while on his way home from Calgary to Saint John. He arrived at the airport late in the evening and was scheduled to fly out early next morning. After driving into Toronto, Irene and I picked him up at the airport and cruised Toronto, staying up all night. We haven’t seen each other in quite a few years, so caught up on what we’ve been doing since, and reminisced about old times, it was great fun!

Time Series

This is one of the coolest photo ideas I’ve come across. It’s been at least a year since first encountering the photo series “The Arrow of Time” which inspired me to start a time based series with my family. Seeing how people change and family grow over the years is truly amazing. What really makes this idea so appealing to me is that you can see the changes happen without flipping a page or losing the impression of the past images, all the images can be visually strung together almost like a movie where each frame has been flattened out onto a canvass.

A real version of the series is also under consideration. Custom frames would be built with dimensions of approximately 2″ by 3″ in size and arranged on our rec room wall in a way similar to the InTime page. Custom frames can be reproduced at later dates with similar wood characteristics, dimensions, color, etc…, allowing the complete series to “look” the same. The orientation of the framed photographs on the wall would be horizontal, running the length of the room as opposed to vertical like the website.

Having a physical InTime series on hanging on your wall is even more valuable than the seemingly impermanent, but still socially valuable online version. Like most things on the Web, interest fades and eventually disappears into iblivion (Internet Oblivion). It can be compared to looking at digital photos on a computer screen or real photos in an album with pages that you can flip through. Being in the physical presence of photos that can be touched and felt offer significant personal meaning and are inherently more valuable to us, our family and society in general.

Yard sale was kinda slow today, only made $12 (coffee money…sweet). Suppose It could have been worse. I could have accidentally broken the back window of my son-in-laws Chevy truck when loading garbage for a dump run and been out over $300 bucks to get it fixed!… oh wait that really did happen!!

The window gets fixed on Monday morning by Doug’s Auto Glass on Frankford Cres. in Trenton, Ontario. Until then, I kindly duct taped up the back window for him
