Post a Stub: Time Flies

My Flickr friend Fernan Carrière is in his own words a scribe, who is currently studying writing in all of its forms: its history and sociology, why we write, learning to write, how we write, the technology of writing, the material aspect of writing.  Fernan is also a wonderful photographer and has an eye for details and perspectives that may otherwise go unnoticed. His Écriture set offers delightful compositions of pens, inks and paper - a must see for the writing instruments enthusiast. 

Fernan contributes two photos to Palimpsest's Post a Stub. He says that these pencil stubs hold no particular stories of interest to anybody. To me they are imprinted with the unspoken stories of usage and memory.

Time flies

like water under a bridge

memories go by...

Never the same souvenirs

since they are shaded with layers of time

Time passes and everything goes by...

But it's always the same river
