Black and white still life photograph of a dark mechanical timer surrounded by tangled black electrical cords.

Johnny Miller, Photographer, New York

About

This black and white still life photograph captures a vintage dark mechanical timer resting centrally against a textured dark background. The circular dial features printed numerical markings surrounded by concentric metallic rings and a clear protective cover. A thick, glossy electrical cord is coiled and tangled haphazardly in looping patterns across the frame, framing the central device. The composition is presented within a dark, thick photographic border with visible film rebate notches along the sides. High-contrast monochrome lighting accentuates the reflective surfaces of the plastic casing and the curved contours of the wiring.
