Time Stands Still...And it is rather tall.

The photo on the left is my own, whereas I found the photo on the right, which was taken by Christopher Cassidy(and can be found here http://anke.blogs.com/anke/2008/12/painting-trinity-.html, afterwards.

While both photos do include clocks of some sort (a timer, in the case of my photo, and a clock tower, in Cassidy's photo), the main similarity that stood out to me was the position of the main subject of both of these photos. That is, both the timer and the clock tower, due to the position of the camera in relation to the respective things, invokes an sense of imposition. Both the timer and clock tower seemingly tower (ha) over the viewer. The difference can then be found in the reality of this imposing. That is, the timer, which is just under a foot in height, is not very imposing at all, but from that perspective, it gains that sense of imposition. In contrast, the clock tower, by nature of its height, could still seem rather imposing to a viewer from the ground. Now, that being said, one could certainly conceive of a photograph in which the clock tower would not seem as imposing (for example, if one were to a take a photo from farther away that is parallel with the photographer's normal gaze).

Regardless, both of these photos further show that the vantage point can have a dramatic effect on the viewer's relation to the photograph and what it depicts.
