Time and Photography: Thea's post
Time and Photography is only relatable in one way. Like how cotazar describes it, a photograph is just an image of an event frozen in time. Capturing one single image takes an event going on at the time and keeps it frozen, essentially stopping time. Each photo holds mystery of what was going on at the time. Bringing perspective into our discussion once again. One person might look at a photo, see it and think that at the time something was going on, and another person might look at the same photo and think that a totally different event had just occurred. Giving each person their own original take on each photographic image. A photo only captures one single event, straight down to the last second after the shutter opens and closes. It holds no time continuum it only takes one single event and freezes it in perfection. Otherwise like in the end of Blow-Up the images would begin to come off the page.
