Based on the book The Time Keeper, I produced this piece. Through one day I took one picture each hour from the same view and position in order to catch the variation of colors and aspects of the sky. My intention is to influence people to realize that time, as we usually see - counting years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds...- it doesn't exist. We live in a world surrounded by deadlines, we struggle to accomplish everything and sometimes we can lose the pleasure of living the moment. We don't own the time, we own this present moment, we must make it worth it.
Quotes extracted from the book The Time Keeper from Mitch Albom:
"Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out."

"Soon man will count all his days, and then smaller segments of the day, and then smaller still—until the counting consumes him, and the wonder of the world he has been given is lost."
"The sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting life’s moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down."
"Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future."
"- There is a reason God limits our days.
- Why?”
- To make each one precious."
- To make each one precious."
"Once we began to chime the hour, we lost the ability to be satisfied. There was always a quest for more minutes, more hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of living between sunrises was gone."
"Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time."
