Back in a previous TimeSpace…

By Silver Blue

I first came across the term “TimeSpace” with Stevie Nicks’ Greatest Hits compilation in 1991. I liked it far more than the regular term, “spacetime”*.

In January 2007, I visited Elizabeth City, NC, and, while attempting different photographic techniques (such as adjusting the zoom while the shutter is open)

This, I think, is the home of the family that brought telephone service to Elizabeth City. Actually, it’s quite the stately home:

The photo was shot at 8:52pm, January 30, 2007, while there was still snow on the ground (or in this case, the bushes). The increased time with the shutter open allows for more than just a black skyscape.

Why choose this house? Well, it was within walking distance of where I was, it had great architecture, and since houses of antiquity tend to have stories attached to them of being haunted, or occupied by non-human entities, I figured that creating a photo where the house jumped TimeSpace would be creative. I think I was right. 🙂

*(In physics, spacetime (or space-time, space time) is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space as being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort from the spatial dimensions. According to certain Euclidean space perceptions, the universe has three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. By combining space and time into a single manifold, physicists have significantly simplified a large number of physical theories, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels. – courtesy of Wikipedia)
