Direction
It was difficult to shoot this image as some of the lights outside were uncontrollable and made the image different than what I had in mind. The settings used were ISO 100, f5 and the shutter speed at 2 minutes and 43 seconds. While the shutter speed was still open I moved the camera up slowly, in order to get more of the sky in the image. I merged this image with one that I had taken of the compass. There is a saying that the north star will always help you find your way home. Although it was not my initial idea for direction, the saying mentioned above helped with the new approach.
Time
My initial goal for time was to have people around the train station, watching them move around as the train came closer and closer. Upon arriving at the train station it was lonely with only one person waiting. I decided to use this image because it depicted time as being wasted or forgotten. She had expected the train to arrive from what it said on their website however the kiosk mentioned another time she had to wait 2 hours for her train to arrive. I cropped the image and made it tighter to emphasize the empty train tracks.
Time Part 2
Unable to get the original image I wanted for the concept of time, I decided to try another approach, aging. Although it would take years to photograph 1 subject to show the passing of time I decided to shoot a family. I took a picture of each of my subjects and then merged them into one. The difficult process was finding the right way to place each subject. If I over lapped them, it would create a weird new person, if I left too much space it looked like an old 80s family photo. I liked using the approach with the three generations, it shows what to expect in the future.
