FYI: For this post, Steve selected the photos and determined the theme. I, without seeing the pictures, wrote the text to his theme, and then he inserted the pictures. Next time, I’m determine the theme, which will be Connections.
Steve is a long-time friend and a good guy. I encourage you to visit his site to see his photos, which are available for purchase. He will also respond to comments here when he can, so feel free to ask him questions.

Love how you did this, and I had a great ‘time’ reading it.
Carrie,
What can I say but it’s all a matter of timing. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2qr8dv
It took Frank some time to write this!
Time, the container for a musical experience, or a dance
Wonderful post, Frank!
Lynn,
Love those words! Many thanks for the addition!!!!
Love this. Time on my computer is up, though. The battery is dyi
Elyse,
At least your computer had enjoy juice to make this comment!
Almost–it died in the middle of the word.
Too funny.
Fantastic!
Julie,
Many thanks!
Great collaboration. You made me think of one of my favorite quotes by Einstein: “When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute—and it’s longer than an hour. That’s relativity.”
Patti,
Your Einstein quote is a great addition. I wonder how many quotes on time there are? Then again, as you say, it’s all relative.
I once wrote a poem called “A Minute Passed”….started something like this:
A Minute Passed,
Minute by minute, the minutes passed,
etc
wish I had the rest
Very pleasant to read through! Lovely choice of photographs as well.
Thanks!
Johannes,
Thanks for the returning and commenting … and glad you enjoyed this.
Great collaborative piece. Beautiful pictures by Steve. Especially like Patti’s quote from Einstein. The title set off “Time keeps … Ticking off into the future ” – Steve Miller band from memory.
Kanerva,
Glad you enjoyed this. Meanwhile, I think you’ll like this video to go along with your comment.
beautiful pictures, enjoyable musing on time…
Shimon,
Given you combination for photography and thoughts, I thought you would enjoy this.
This was a great post Frank.. didn’t quite follow how you two did it.. but I enjoyed it tremendously…
Bulldog,
This is our second collaboration. The first one I asked questions, he responded with words and a supporting image. http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/on-a-wave/ (You’ll love this pics)
I suggested that we do it again. This time he could select a theme and 5-6 pics matching his theme. He then told me the theme, but didn’t show me the pics. I wrote the words, then sent it to him … thus he inserted the pics into the appropriate spot in the text … returned it to me, and here it is. BTW – we live about a 12-hour drive apart.
Hopefully we can do this again, but change the order of the events.
I’m off to have a look at the other one but it sure works well and is most enjoyable…
You will love The Wave!
It worked out well, I think…
Your prose works well with Steve’s images Frank. As I was reading this post, Simon & Garfunkel’s “Hazy Shade of Winter” crossed my mind.
Lame,
Not bad for blind collaboration! Meanwhile, I must add this.
I thought you might do that, Frank.
Glad I was able to come through … then again, that makes me predictable. YIKES!
I love this one, Frank! One of my favorites. It’s interesting how you collaborated with the artist. I would have thought it was all carefully planned. I love this line, “Time is something that passes and does not stop, yet people try to manage it.” We try so hard, don’t we?
Bumble,
This was fun to do, and hopefully we can do this again. Yippee for me creating a memorable line.
Gosh your collaboration worked really well. I like Steve’s pictures.
Rosie,
This was a fun one … of course I’m looking forward to the next one as I put the pressure on him.
Ooooh, pressure! Can’t wait!
Hope you saw it at the end of the post!
Connections….hmmm. this will take some thought!
Good … the challenge of it all. Text is in progress, but I figure we won’t really start until after the spring rush of your work.
Great great post Frank
GFB,
Thank you kind sir …. and I see that Oily just made an appearance.
Lovely combination of words and pictures. I’ve just finished writing a story about time for submission somewhere, so this post was…timely!
Vanessa,
Wow … Separated by an ocean, we have a way of connecting our writings! Good luck with the submission!
This is a marvelous collaboration, both the writing and the pictures are inspiring.
Val,
Many thanks for the kind words … and glad you enjoyed this.
Great post Frank, with some really amazing photography. One of my favorite quotes about time is by Bertrand Russell — The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Alex,
Thanks for adding the great quote. I was hoping you would see this because I recall how much you enjoyed Steve’s pics on our last collaboration (The Wave in Arizona).
I really enjoyed these Frank! Are they hand tinted?
I hoping Steve is able to drop by and answer this one for you … I’m thinking not … but I’m a point-and-shoot picture taker.
Whatever they are — they are beautiful!
… and we shall find out from the source.
They are not hand-tinted. Some are HDR (high dynamic range, which is a process by which 3 or more pics are taken at various exposures to try to catch all the light that your eye can see, then combined in a software program, seems to add vibrancy and depth to the pictures, some can be really surreal if you take it too far).
Thank you Steve — they are amazing. And though I don’t really understand the process, I definitely appreciate them! Brilliant work.
And, the two partially black-and-white ones are actually originally color photos, changed to black-and-white, then I added back in the piano and the aqua room parts in color…those two pics just seemed to need special treatment.
Wow! The one of the piano is really impressive (well, actually they all are, but I really like that one!). Thanks for the explanation Steve.
Beautiful photos, especially that poor old piano. I enjoyed your definitions of time too. Great post.
Paradise,
Seems this collaboration has tugged on you in several directions.
WOW! One of your best posts for me dear Frank, fascinated me almost. Thank you, love, nia
Nia,
I was hoping you would see this one, thus I’m really happy you stopped by.
Steve – Nia loves photography and captures great stuff from Istanbul!
Yeah, I looked at her pics – good stuff!
good … and a very nice person too!
I loved this, Frank. Your prose fit beautifully with Steve’s photos. Are these HRDIs, Steve? I’m just learning about them and I’m getting ready to try some with my new Nikon D600.
I meant HDRIs – High Dynamic Range Images.
Yes, I think they are all HDR. love the process, tho’ it’s easy to get carried away. I use PhotoMatix. also just got a new D600, so far loving it.
Cathy,
Glad you enjoyed this post and that Steve and you understand common lingo.
What a great idea with each not knowing precisely what the other is doing. There was a nice meshing there.
I enjoyed Steve’s treatment of his photos – some interesting colouring there.
Thank you!
Cuttlefish,
Definitely fun to do … and hopefully we can do this again.
A beautiful post visually, and thought provoking.
Thanks!
Rachel,
Thought provoking while teasing with visual sensations seems to work.
Definitely greater than the sum of its already-great parts.
Archon,
Very appropriate for this post!

LouAnn,
Very philosophical … thus I love it. Thanks!
Great job. Been here a while enjoying each line, the photos and comments. And I really enjoyed the Simon and Garfunkel in the comments. Thank you, guys…as that what you say in Ohio?
Georgette,
… but Steve has been an Okkie for some time. 
. Meanwhile, glad you enjoyed this collaboration.
LOL … good one … and you got it right!
Frank–I thought it TIME that I drop in to let you know I still care. Loved the artful words you wove around Steve’s photos (I left a message on his site).
–John
P.S. My wife and I made a whirlwind trip to Cincy on Monday where I had a diagnostic test done at the VA hospital.
Thanks John! Looking at your site…funny things there.
John,
Thanks for dropping by. A project has been goggling up my time, thus I post less and infrequently visit others … so thanks for checking in. … Meanwhile, I anticipate two more weeks. More importantly, I hope all works out well with your tests!
Love the colors in those photos.
Hansi,
Steve does well … thanks for stopping by.
Wow, Frank! This is a wonderful collaboration. The words and images complement each other so well. I love the way you did this, blind in a way. Well done to you both!
Robin,
I’m so happy that you saw this, so many thanks for the kind words. You may recall our other collaboration we did about The Wave at a national park. http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/on-a-wave/
Absolutely gorgeous post, and photos. Timeless.
Victoria,
All the credit to Steve for the photos!!!
Timeless time is quite the praise!
Frank, these pictures are absolutely fantastic. I love the grey and bit of colour – the piano, the house, the ravaged by time.
Time as a subject fascinates me. You’ve written of something which fascinates me, and written dreamily on it. Like this very much.
Love Victoria’s comment “timeless”…
Eyes,
Glad you enjoyed this post … and Steve gets all the credit for the photos. Thanks for checking on me.
What a great post on time. The photos work in beautiful tandem with the words and only furthers my belief that creativity helps us hear time’s voice.
Cayman,
Thank you kind sir and Dolphin fan. I imagine Steve and I will collaborate again, but without a timetable. Cheers!
’bout time
Rich,
I’ll drink to that.
i already did. three times.
Wow … what a stunning post – have you done the wording ???? The art is fantastic and his website is wonderful – amazing truly. Thank you so much for – this, a 20 min escape. My favorite photo you have here .. the piano.
Viveka,
Yep … Steve picked the theme, I did the words without seeing the photos, and then he inserted the photos at appropriate points. This was fun.
Wonderful team work … fantastic job with the wording, Frank.
Many thanks. … if you get a chance, you may want to back track into my Italy posts & pics.
Okay … I will, Frank … *smile
Fantastic post. Loved your time pieces, and the photos were stunning. Very creative – both of you. I simply need MORE time.
Maddie,
Thanks for the kind words as this was a fun post to do … and hopefully we will do this again …. well, in time.
Brilliant! I love when you get your philosophy on, Frank.
Time is our constant companion, and the fire in which we all burn.
(I stole those thoughts from somewhere.)
Guapo,
Great time saying …. many thanks for sharing!
Come to think about it, the philosophical side of me did come forth in this one.
Frank, glad you jerked my chain on this one it was very enjoyable. Steve and I share some target preferences.
Joe
Joe,
I knew you would like this one! Thanks for stopping by!!!
I am lovin’ the theme-oriented blogs. These pics are amazing. I loved old homes and things that show the intricacies of time. I have this old wooden shed in my backyard. Everyone says I should paint it. I am never gonna paint it – because a) I’m lazy and b) I like that it looks old and imperfect. Sometimes the beauty is in the cracks and the chips of paint and the imperfections. Thanks for sharing.
Teeny,
This was an interesting collaboration, and kudos to Steve for the photos. Yep, there is something about old that brings out its own beauty … just like your old shed. Glad you enjoyed this post.
These images are great. And after a sorry attempt to create artistic photos using PhotoShop during a class I took, I can really appreciate this selection.
Christine,
I’m not a photographer … just a point and shot with a common digital camera … thus why I use Steve for these photos!!!! Glad you enjoyed the collaboration.
You do a fine job. Try to remember the rule of threes (imagine a tic-tac-toe grid over the view and place the main object of interest at one of the intersections, or put horizons along one of the lines, etc). This helps a lot in improving photos.
Everyone is a photographer.
Thanks for the tips.

Malcolm,
Many thanks! Any favorite?
They are all great pictures but the first and last are particularly a propos.
I love the first one too … and the last one provides a bit of mystery … well, to me. Thanks answering.
Beautiful words, beautiful pictures. It all fit together so nicely. This was awesome!
Nicole,
It was an interesting collaboration, and Steve’s photos are awesome!

This is just fantastic, Frank. Great prose, and well said.
Ryan,
Glad you enjoyed this one. I did some others about words, so you can see them in the Sidebar … Categories > Words.
