If
you love photography, synchronicity and celebrating humanity then you should
definitely check out the Human Clock.
It
was during my first day here as a new recruit at Hatch, when I discovered I’ve
lost all sense of time. Now I’m not a big clock watcher and often have no clue
what the time is……….and sometimes when your bored the time does tend to drag on
and on and on and on. I hate to admit it, but in previous jobs, occasionally I
longed for the clock to strike 5pm.
But
how this has changed. As I immersed myself head first and with great gusto into
my first day at Hatch the time whizzed by, as jokes, emails, press releases and
conference calls were the tasks of the day. Now not too long ago it was 9am on
my first day and now it was 5.30pm and time to ‘cluck off’. Where does the time
go? I think we have an uncanny and built in knack to tell when certain daily
events are – such as lunchtime, snack time…………..…oh and of course when its time
for a brew (ahem………..James!), but I think we find it harder to assess other key
times throughout the course of the day and often miss them. I’m going to make a
note from now on to regularly check the time when I can, as it seems, for me,
to stretch the day out and prolong the daylight, which I’m all for!
Now
the Human Clock is a great little website I’ve stumbled upon, where every 60
seconds a different image is displayed that somehow magically tells the time.
Although I doubt we all check the time every minute. There are plenty of
obvious pictures on there with people holding up a sign of the time, giving a
shout out to their favourite band or hometown, but the human clock also has
many colourful pictures that fall into charming coincidences.
They
offer a tidy little desktop window so you can also watch the pictures change
throughout the day (go on give it a go…….…you won't be disappointed). To me it
gives clockwatching a little more giddy up!
You
can even submit your own photo and become part of a global art project.
I hope it inspires your work week, as it did mine!
