Yes, I agree with Rich that this is becoming an interesting series of pictures, taking the “what’s on your wrist today” theme to another level. I encourage you to keep going with this theme and in time it will become a narrative of the watches and the wearer – time and place. Maybe other forum members will be encouraged to take a picture of their daily wearer in the context of their life eg walking the dog, in the office, driving the tractor……..hey, their must be one farmer among us.

A series of pictures has a unique power to communicate. Just like the NY street corner project. On their own, each picture is mundane but as a series or a body of work, they tell a storey that all New Yorkers understand and the rest of us can comprehend.

A good photography project needs a narrative and you have found one. I have been searching for one for three years now. My watch project was just an interlude and a welcome distraction from photographers block.
