EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to December 1999 in the heart of London, England. The image showcases Mike McCann, the dedicated Keeper of the Great Clock, as he meticulously checks the time using unconventional methods. With a telephone receiver pressed against his ear and a stopwatch in hand, McCann ensures that every second is accounted for. The photograph beautifully captures both the essence of communication and the significance of timekeeping. As technology evolves around him, McCann remains steadfast in his duty to maintain accuracy within one of London's most iconic landmarks. Behind him stands the intricate clock mechanism with its mesmerizing gears and cogs - a testament to human ingenuity. This snapshot from the 20th century serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there are individuals like Mike McCann who honor tradition while embracing innovation. It symbolizes an era when telephones were still relied upon for accurate timekeeping and highlights our timeless fascination with capturing moments through photography. Alisdair MacDonald's skillful composition transports us into this historical landscape where clocks reign supreme and meticulous attention to detail is paramount.
