Hi!
Someting like "Je tombe de rire, je me roule par terre, je suis pliΓ© de rire et pour les jeunes: je suis mort de rire" is also good...
Bonne photo d'un coq (pont de balancier) et d'un spiral BrΓ©guet (Γ courbe Phillips is the same thing). Sorry but I have some problemes with english, you can hear my accent: I'm french and it is not the worst, the worst is: I was clock maker my all life. Do not be afraid I am retired and to be french is enough ... 
More seriously I was comming to thank you for a fav when I saw the balance weel...
Thank's a lot for the fav and to an other day may be...

I have been fascinated with watches and clocks my whole life. I do not have many, but the few that I do own are special for one reason or another.
J'ai été fasciné avec des montres et des horloges ma vie entière. Je n'ai pas beaucoup, mais les peu que je possède sont spéciaux pour une raison ou des autres.
Thank you for appreciating the work, mine and the watch makers.
Merci d'apprΓ©cier le travail, le mien et les gΓ©nΓ©rateurs de montre.
I am not sure why you laughed so hard, but laughing to good, so I hope you enjoyed yourself.
Je ne suis pas sΓ»r pourquoi vous avez ri tellement dur, mais riant au bon, ainsi j'espΓ¨re que vous vous Γͺtes amusΓ©.
(I hope the translation helps, though I am not sure if it is correct).

You really like clocks)))And you studied at art school?

yup... comes from my dad... he has many many clocks.
I studied photography, which had an art component. I teach photography now, and emphasize the artistic components.

Watchmaker=artisan
Watch repairman=labourer.
Great composition, detail, textures, lines, forms, and colour.

This is the first closeup of yours that I've seen. Nicely done, although my wife says it should be desaturated save for the brass and the contrast kicked up for her to like it.

Hey Hoyt,
there are a number of macro images in the gallery.
Re: your love's comment. Contrast is a killer of detail, most people here on the net push contrast and could all learn a lesson from Ansel Adams. Proper processing in the key because this is where contrast if controlled. Too much and valuable detail is lost in the shadows and highlights. Too little and the image lacks "spark". I recognize that people have their personal visual preferences, but for myself, I stick with my training and process for details not smack in the face images. As a final comment.... all of my work goes to print. At that stage, only 3-5 stops of contrast can be reproduced on Glossy paper. Processing as I do, allows detail to transfer across the image with out the usual build up of contrast that printing develops. This means that detail is available, and in my work.... detail is everything.

I'm not surprised you have more than 1 macro image in your gallery. I just don't remember them all that well, seeing as they're pretty infrequent compared to rusty autos.

yes, the rust has kind of taken me over in the last few years. I suppose that happens when one kind of subject takes on a special interest, but the shows are coming to an end and I will go on to other subjects now.

I look forward to your other subjects, though not at the expense of the rust.
