Stopping time

For this image I used a stopwatch that was photographed over a 7 sec exposure time.

I had to fix it to a small wooden stick screwed on to a hole on the watch's back so it won't move.

The watch's glass had to be already broken and glued back so it will appear to be cracked.

The hammer in front of the watch had to be moved throughout the exposure in order to appear moving as if it's breaking the watch in attempt to stop Time.

Technical data: 8X10 Clear glass wet plate Collodion Ambrotype, Camera: Svedovsky, 300mm Fujinon Lens f8, 7sec exposure,one 550W cfl lightbank on the right side + one 120w cfl light on the left.
