| "A photograph passes for incontrovertible proof that a given thing happened."-Susan Sontag |
From the reading "On Photography" by Susan Sontag, her quote above inspired me to take this selfie with my baby cousin Eileen who was, at that moment, sleeping in my arms in church. In this case it was "incontrovertible proof" that this baby was once calm and asleep in my arms. Later on, this baby will no longer be tiny and chunky. She will become a beautiful young woman. Photographs such as these capture a moment where she will never deny a time she was a tiny creature from God. This is an undeniable truth that most people had gone through or will go through when growing up. Eileen being this tiny will be unforgettable....and so will the moment she was actually quiet.
