Escapement

Aaaagh this has been sitting edited on my computer forever but I've kept forgetting to upload it for the past month. Better now than never :)

 

I was going to title this something from 'Runaway' by Kanye, but thought it was a little unoriginal. So I started thinking about escape artists and escaping, and looked up 'escapement' because I wasn't actually sure if it was a word. Aaanyways I ended up really liking the definitions, even though they don't directly apply to the photo:

 

es·cape·ment [i skáypmənt]

(plural es·cape·ments)

n

1. clock mechanism: in a clock or watch, a mechanism that permits motion in only one direction, allowing power from a spring or falling weight to turn gears connected to the hands

2. music piano mechanism: in a piano, a mechanism that allows the hammer to rebound from a string after striking it

3. typewriter mechanism: in a typewriter or printer, a mechanism that regulates the relative movement between the paper carrier and the typing or printing position on a line

 

So. Yep. There you have it. Keep on movin.

Weeeeee hopefully I'll be back soon! I hope your Thanksgivings are all wonderfully splendid if I don't upload before then :)
