Time Line

Home Brisbane Oz

I saw this ole dero (homeless person) at the bus stop & got him to come home for a beer so I could get a few shots of him. He told me he was a Pipe Fitter Welder so I wanted to show the welding burns on his arms & not wanting a sharp face I got him to keep blinking his eyes & twitching his face during the 15sec exposure to try & capture the passing of time on his ugly face.


other sizes: small medium original auto

:-) Thanks all. The missus liked the ole dero so much she married him.

This has quite an umpleasnat feel to it which is no bad thing. The blurring works very well especially with the sharp focus of the chair and thingy on the wall. I hope you didn't toss the poor bugger out after one lousy can of that light beer you drink.

Nasty burns, and he doesn't look very relaxed by the way he's holding his fingers. A few more beers might have helped to relax more. ; )

It looks almost as if there's a stocking over the face. Eerie. But original. We can always count on you for that, Rod.

Did you have a 6 pack of coffee for this one instead of beer? Nice shot, glad to see you trying new things!

Rod, I finally had a chance to read some of the posts in the forum. I missed alot it seems. Anyway, this shot is very creative. The line is very eye catching and the ole dero, seems quite comfie in your favorite chair!!! Better keep an eye on the missus. Yvonne
