My dad is always looking at this website that has a daily deal on one item every day. One day he saw this watch online for $25 bucks which would normally retail for $75 bucks. So he decided to jump on that deal, and some how in a round about way it became my watch. Which is cool because its a Fossil watch, and I have always liked there brand. I photographed a pair of them while attending Hallmark and it turned out pretty cool, so I figured I should take a photo of this watch while its still new. Then I got to thinking why not kill two birds with one stone and do a self-portrait with a close up on the watch, and that’s just what I did. I decided to turn it to black and white after the fact because the watch itself is all silver with a black face and I just found my skin tone to distracting from the watch. Anyways love to see some comments on what you like and don’t like with this photo. Thanks for reading!
