Time and the photographic are connected with each other in that they contradict each other. The whole point of a photographic image is to stop time. It's purpose is to capture a moment. Time however keeps moving which in effect outdates the photo and makes it unreliable. The passage of time is lost in an image because the image is isolated in it's time. Because of this the photographic image can be representing a reality of time but it is in truth only representing the reality. It is not showing what is truly happening because the moment of time that it captured is gone. This renders its effectiveness almost useless in re-creating reality. However, in a sense that it is reproducing reality, it excels in that the only major flaw is the perception of the human. The photographic image compares equally to other mediums in that they are saturated in emotional truth while the image allows a person to add none.
