……….In the past several months, I’ve arrived at many conclusions about my behavior, and how it has affected others, as well as myself. I realized I have a problem facing reality and tend to act out in extreme ways to distract myself from it. I’ve become so skilled at stifling and numbing my hurt feelings, fears, anxieties, and my inner anger, that anticipating a drink every single evening seemed like normative behavior. Then it became apparent to me that feelings are just feelings… no matter how uncomfortable they are, sometimes you just have to sit with them, go to sleep, and wake up with a better, rested, and fresh outlook.

.

I started to reteach myself how to think and live. My ambitions of being an event planner and starting my own business came to the forefront of my goals once again, after being buried somewhere back in college. Entering this type of business has been anything but easy…coupled with my “partying” tendencies: I have realized this business will never happen – unless I properly fuel the fire that needs to ignite it; me.

STRIPPED: A Tony Ward Studio Exclusive Blog Series – Part 4

.

……….Two songs seemed like a lot but I was already a pro after my last audition. I felt at ease knowing the girls weren’t all watching and hoping I’d fall of stage. I went through the routine with much less anxiety compared to my first audition. I felt comfortable and confident. After introducing myself to the bar patrons, I received an abundant amount of positive feedback – along with about 23 dollars in ones. I got dressed and headed to the back and filled out yet another application: although I really started wondering what kind of background you really needed to get hired other than being able to dance and have a social security number.

.

I was hired on the spot and was told to call the next day to go over my schedule. I left feeling excited and energized. I found my new home and Brooke Lynne was born. All I needed to do now was figure exactly what a “G-string” was and get one in every color!

……….When I first began thinking about the object I would photograph, only a few things came to mind. Intimate objects, for me: are those objects that have a personal meaning which is far more important than its physical one. I soon realized how much I wanted to capture my passion for timepieces.

.

Watches keep time. They help quantify and sequence our events as well as our emotions. Some philosophers argue that time is not a reality, but merely a concept. Regardless of this debate, watches help us keep track of this reality we live in.

Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once said “I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.” This has always led me to believe that I am the controller of my own destiny. Watches ultimately represent the tangible aspects of time, which we use to forge our own fate. This is how I’ve come to appreciate watches – not for their physical capabilities, but for their abstract meaning.

Therefore, the popular expression “time on your hands” does not come as a surprise to me. Being able to make our own proper decisions about time is exactly why they have such an important meaning to me. Controlling our actions and owning up to them is ultimately a feature of time.

.

In conclusion, watches not only appeal to me because of their innate physical beauty, but also because of their abstract significance. Being able to quantify time while reinforcing the notion that we are the architects of our own future is what makes this simple mechanical object my personal favorite.
