I urge people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (provide a translation please :)). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr, and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.
Every fortnight we hope to host a photograph suggested by contributors. So, keep those photograph recommendations coming. Submit your favorite images (with credit) for next week’s Picture it & Write!
Have you ever noticed how often time is a major plot point in entertainment? Everyone is running out of time. Profilers only have 24 hours to find missing children before it’s too late. Samantha measures her life in six minute increments as a high powered lawyer in The Undomestic Goddess. Time is currency in the movie In Time. The world is going to explode; the island is going to sync and the world is going to end in 2012. Why do we spend time working to earn money that we end up spending on health supplements and herbal remedies to get more time. What is our obsession with time?

here is my writing prompt for this week
http://terry1954.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/picture-it-write-prompt-oct-28th-2012/
I really liked the comparison of the changing times, but I feel like it’s presumptuous to assume the goals are and have always been “grow up, find a mate, get married and have a family. Work hard and save money, buy a house and a new car, grow old together.” What about people who never get married, or couples who cannot conceive? It implies that their life goals can never be met. Some people want to fly the world and never settle down or become missionaries and can never own a home.

Enjoy

Hahahaha, oh boy this reminds me of my last trip to a museum. I like some art, but I really don’t get the rest. How blocks of colors and stick figures similar to my Kindergarten scribbles are valued at thousands of dollars is really beyond me.

I love your post. Time drives me nuts. I do what I do, I don’t want a stop watch over my shoulder. Well put and thought provoking.
Here is my entry, a little bit about time, and a little.bit of horror for Halloween week.

Wow that is powerful and left me speechless other than to say thank you for contributing. It’s amazing how differently people can interpret the same picture. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for your submissions. I promise to come back and read them when I have a spare moment. ❤

Love yours, Elizabeth…. I’ll be back in a couple of days with my contribution…!
Distorted vision of space and time.
I am in my own head, while sipping wine.
Pondering on the meaning of it all,
as i can hear the seconds fall
through my fingers, washing away
cells, thoughts and dreams.
Is this the end of it all?
Only time will tell.
– Otheus
Good job with the multiple uses of time, Otheus!
Hi Otheus, thanks for another contribution. It makes me wonder what happened to the person that they’re now spinning and pondering life. Are they drunk? Did they hit their head?
I like the philosophical spin, and the dichotomy you presented, Eliabeth.
Well, it’s almost time for the next one, but here’s The Cells.
That’s awesome! I saw it coming, but it still made me smile. Thanks for contributing Anne.
