No matter how fast you are; It doesn't even matter if it arrived on time or not. Time will never wait for anyone. Time has never been in the hands of man. We always wake up every morning thinking that we are at the beginning of a long journey, a journey that has many paths to the end, but we are always unaware that the path is a line that is only time It can invalidate it.
In this photo we see a man who is at the beginning of the road and has a long way to go until the end of the road and the man thinks he can reach the end of the road, but there are many clocks above the man's head, a symbol of human time passing and we do not know what Our time is running out.

Behind The Lens

Location

In Tehran, the capital of Iran...

Time

One summer day, while I was doing street photography, this wall with its unique design caught my attention. So I waited for someone in good condition to pass in front of the wall and I could shoot at the best possible time. I do not remember what time it was but I know we were approaching evening, although it was summer but I did not feel much heat and all my attention was on the image that had to be recorded

Lighting

I needed daylight to capture this photo, and I did not need outside lights. But the problem with the lighting in this photo was that the sun was shining right in front of me and my camera lens; In these cases, we have to be very careful about the fluorescence of sunlight and also adjust the shutter speed and aperture in such a way that we can reduce the intensity of the light to get a good image. I think I have encountered these light problems more than any other subject to capture this image.

Equipment

To capture this photo, I only used the Canon Kiss X5 and the 18-1355 STM lens - this is the only camera and lens I have had in all ten years of photography. In addition to the camera, UV filter & Polarizing filter were attached to the lens. In street photography, I mostly believe that the camera should be on the hand rather than a tripod, of course this has its problems, but in countries like Iran, the less attention we get, the better; We are more secure. Especially since buying a new camera or lens is impossible for me, who's teaching, given the failed economy here, so it's best to always look after my own photography tools.

Inspiration

To capture each photo, I first listen to the inspirations that are created in me. About this photo, I paid more attention to the surrealists and the painting of Salvador Dali and his melted clock, and with this thought, I waited for a human being to pass under these clocks, which symbolize the passage of life; A man who strives and strives, a man who pays no attention to time to survive.

Editing

I did not do any special processing after taking this photo. I can say that I made the usual corrections in Photoshop software; Things like light and color correction and a little crop.

In my camera bag

As I mentioned in the question above, I have been using only one camera and one lens for 10 years. In Iran, a teacher's salary is so low that I can not add a new tool in my camera bag. But as a list, if I may say in my photography bag for all these 10 years: 1- Canon Kiss X5 ?- lens 18-135 STM 3- UV filter 4- Polarizing filter contract.

Feedback

My advice to all photographers who like to take a photo similar to this one is to believe in themselves and their talent, thought and art first of all; From every situation that may seem worthless, imagine a unique place and location and then take it out of your imagination and bring it closer to reality. The question always arises in all photography classes that the photographer must be talented and have science and thought or unique tools, cameras and lenses; I can only comment on myself and answer this question: I have been shooting with only one camera and one lens for 10 years, and I have taken this photo with the same camera and lens that I have for 10 years; So, first of all, it is better for every photographer to hope for himself, his talent, science and knowledge so that he can take good photos.
