"In another version of its utility, the camera record justifies. A photograph passes for incontrovertible proof that a given thing happened" -Susan Sontag
One thing a camera does is captures a original moment that occurred and doesn't alter it, everything that fits the dimensions of the photo has been frozen in time. Time seems to affect everything, from inanimate objects to living things and the world itself. One thing time cant effect however, is a picture, because the contents of the photo have been captured to sit in a period of time for an indefinite amount of time. In the photo above is myself hanging around the downtown area of Jersey City, this event without a doubt, did happen. This one second of time will be saved forever, the people in this photo including myself, will age and pass on someday, but this irreplaceable moment wont ever age, because it has escaped the mysterious phenomenon of time.
