Vintage Gold Pocket Watch Canvas Print

A vintage pocket watch is captured in close-up, its open cover revealing a classic white dial with black Roman numerals. Subtle reflections and a rich sepia tone suggest the antiquity and delicate craftsmanship of the timepiece. This watch belonged to my father in law. He was given it by his father when he left Lithuanian ahead of the Russian Army. He spent time at a slave labor camp in Dachau, spent time in a resettlement camp in Berlin, Germany. He and his wife came to the US, Catholic Charities gave him 5 dollars, had them live with a Colonel, who was transferred to Japan, Thru all this he carried this watch, didn't sell it, didn't trade it. When we found it in his safe after he passed, I had a Russian watchmaker, repair it. I then gave it to my wife.

Along the way, I discovered the thrill of disc dog events with my dog, Stella, adding a unique twist to my life, and later, with newfound freedom in retirement, I have thrown myself fully (some might say obsessively!) into both photography and competing with my new dog, Skylar. In my work, I aim for technical precision, striving to create images with a consistent style that invites viewers to see a story...
