Advertisements come and go on the side of this old building in downtown Flagstaff. The abstracted layers of painted pleas for attention speak of the ebb and flow of business over the years. It is all about time. I add context to this patchwork of paint by including the old clock in the foreground, which is all about time as well. It not only tells us where we are, but it also tells us approximately when this block of buildings was built. And of course it tells us the exact time I made this image. Once again, the past and present merge in both space and time.
