Horological Meandering

Hi All, We have some inventive and technically great photographers with us on PuristS. I would love to see some of your more posed or artistic shots. [You can Photoshop to your hearts content.] This can be another chapter in the PuristS coffee table book ...

I like the red pic! Bloody!! Kong This message has been edited by Kong on 2009-03-04 12:52:55

Thanks Daos, I enjoyed these. So many bad puns come to mind but I will restrain myself. While I might pretend to be more highbrow, I have a soft spot for B grade movies as well; bring on the zombies! What do you do when you iron? A
