:
Lilly : I found this mystic thing that we might use to help tell the Future !
Ronnie : Oh, you need something much more sophisticated for that, believe me, I've been there.
Lilly : Huh? . . Well, that thing looks like it ran out of Future around 1926, Ronnie !

Bettina from Los Angeles, United States
Just beautiful. I love your collaboration and juxtapositions. These two are wonderful.

@Bettina: Thank you from us both, Bettina ! (Ronnie)
Mithun Varma from Bangalore, India
Nice collage. The shot definitely has a mystic feel to it.

@Zing: Thanks, Zing. We don’t have an Order of Work on these postings and seldom know where we are headed until we're done ! But, the Conversation is written after the Composition and the Title comes last. Strangely enough, the Title, then, becomes most important and ‘refreshes’ the perception of the image and the process re-runs itself . . . (Ronnie)

perhaps expired past, some people speak of a change of the earth axes

yz from Budapest, Hungary
but if you put together the two you might open the stargate and the invasion of aliens will start, so i am really happy that this time you didn't photoshopped them together

@yz: Who know, Zoltán, the Aliens may make a better job of it than BP ! (Ronnie)
MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Lilly's looks like a prohibition sign: 'No half moons allowed' :-)
9 Jun 2010 7:46am
@MadScientist: ha ha . . I wish we'd thought of that, now - would have set off in a totally different direction or, even, turned back ! Thanks, Manfred.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
I usually think simpler is better, but as a man I love the complexity in Ronnie's find! Nice comparision.....

Those devices never run out. First you tell the Future, secondly you imagine how the device can tell that Future.

@António Pires: ha ha . .yes, 'wishful thinking' is an art-form we have all perfected !! (Ronnie)
k@ from Paris, France
That's why only Present counts as we photographers know so well ;)
I love the Equator spinning on top
9 Jun 2010 10:18am
@k@: . . I was about to fully agree with you . . but the moment has passed ! (Ronnie at Speed)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Both are real cool finds, with the world as it is now I think the future may be too scary for us to know about LOL
9 Jun 2010 11:52am
@JJ: True, JJ . . .the Gulf is pretty much a trailer for what is to come, I think. (Ronnie)

One cannot photograph the future...the moment the shutter falls...it's the past. best...jerry

Amanda from Jersey City, United States
I always love your attention to detail! The tiny push pin marks in the polaroid are the perfect final touch.
9 Jun 2010 1:34pm
@Amanda: Amanda, you are too kind : that is a genuine Polaroid mount from my sweet SX-70 (with Lilly's digital image inserted) and the Polaroid had been pinned up somewhere in the distant, dusty past. But, yes, I liked those pin-marks, too ! (Ronnie)
grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
$%£*ing hell saw your reply and 'knowticed' how I spelt 'Know'. Oh for an edit button. Is that in the future do you think, apart from the brightness of course? :)
9 Jun 2010 4:16pm
@grouser: (from Lilly) Eye don't no about an edit button, but eye dew know that all of hour futures are bright.
Christel from Köln, Germany
Good evening, Ronnie
I trust the sundial, to the right. I think the time is there more closely. The modern world is not always the best. The fact that today's topic is again very interesting. 5 Stars ***** Have a nice evening and all the best. Thanks for all the nice comments. Dear greetings Christel

Daryl Johnson from Farnham, United Kingdom
Lilly, I think, for once, you might not have backed a winner there...
9 Jun 2010 7:21pm
@Daryl Johnson: The Future will tell, Daryl - if only I can get it started ! (Ronnie)
Andrei Barbu from Timisoara, Romania

Beaucoup d'imagination.

@Steve Rice: Hey, over here with the 'We Trust Ronnie" group, Steve . . plenty of room ! (Trusted Ronnie)
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
I like these compositions that you have been creating as of late which make it look like there's two separate photo for one post.
10 Jun 2010 12:28am
@Steven: (from Lilly) Ronnie and I each take a different photo, and we make a composite of them to present a little story for each posting. Sometimes the two photo's are obvious, but sometimes they're blended so well, you can't tell there are two photos. But there are always two! One from each of us!
B. Thomas from Arlington, Texas, United States
I don't know which is more fun, the shot or the comments! ;-)
10 Jun 2010 2:43am
@B. Thomas: The Photographers and the Writers in us both are each so pleased to read that ! (Both)
Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
In combination with my photo today who knows we could tell the future :) Especially Lilly's find looks very intriguing!
10 Jun 2010 5:29am
@Monique: Your photo of today is amazing, Monique - recommended viewing !

Funny way of makes us think about essence of Time :))
10 Jun 2010 6:15am
@k@: Thank you, Karine, and you set me to correcting the early-dawn typo, too, by mentioning it ! Such collaboration !! (Ronnie)
Anita from West Nottingham, United States
My thinking went this way: No moons, hence, no future.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
I like both of them but Ronnie's find makes me travel futher in the time... past and future.

Ran out, unless you might be a "Timelord" like Dr. Who.

Barbara from Florida, United States
I knew you two had extraordinary capabilities. I often wonder about the future. But apparently that is now, well was it's already expired, and this moment too.
Is it true, Ronnie, have you really been in the future? You came back which says a lot. If you go again take your camera and bring back a lot of photos.
Super images, I really like these symbolic pieces.

Great fun today reading the posts from everyone! I love the thought of collaborating and making a single blog- wonderfully creative! As for the future....not really sure I want to know!
10 Jun 2010 7:34pm
@Tracy: Yes, there has been a great sense of participation in this one, Tracy . . . a big thankyou to you and everyone for that ! (Lilly and Ronnie)
