The Old Clock Tower in Halifax, Nova Scotia, first began counting time in 1803. It has seen alterations and upkeep, but the original inner guts of the tickety tock keep on rocking. I've been to Halifax twice, and it rocks also. #photography #oldclocks #halifax #novascotia #canada #blackandwhite
A photograph taken in an antique shop shows a vintage illuminated sign beneath an old wall clock. The sign reads “McQuay-Norris Leak-Proof Piston Rings” in bold red and black lettering, glowing warmly with age. On either side of the sign, hourglass-shaped logos declare “Time Tested” and “Proven in Service.” Above it, a square metal clock with bold black numbers and red hands shows the time as 7:03. Dust and wear mark the clock’s face, hinting at decades of service. The image captures a quiet moment of nostalgia—tools of time and trade still holding presence. The photographer, once a sign painter, saw in this display a reflection of their own story.
Time slows in old shops. Light hums behind promises made bold - leak-proof, proven, time-tested. Some truths fade, some glow.
Once upon a time, I lettered race cars & business trucks. Maybe that’s why this one wouldn’t let me walk past without a snapshot.

Being my friend is really fun, you get to stand in buildings for hours at a time watching as I do things like repeatedly photograph two clocks.
