Colorful Colorado # 11- A Moment in Time
Welcome to my Time Machine!
I never thought about how pictures provide a medium for us to peer back in time. We literally get to see something as it was whenever the photo was taken. This realization came to me when I was watching The Cosmos, and it intrigues me! Just as the stars and celestial bodies are merely images from another time (because it takes time for the light from these far off objects to reach us, we see them as they were when the light left them), photographs are too!
A unique moment in time, captured forever
This photo especially reminds me of the time traveling capabilities of photography. With the depth of field and subtle vignette, it is almost as if the universe opened up a hole in space-time to peer unto this moment. No moment captured in time will ever be like this one, no matter how similar another moment is, this one is infinitely unique. If you think about it, it is also unique from the actual moment itself. It is more like a representation of the moment.
Have you ever thought of photography like this?! What a great technique humans have invented to become travelers of time and space. Led Zeppelin must've been referring to photography on their song Kashmir, right?

That's a beautiful photo - but I really loved your philosophy. Adding onto it, even if I looked at the photo at two different moments, even though the photo is the same, my perception of it will be different.
In a way... my brain represents a representation of the representation of the actual moment; and the brain's representation changes across times.
Whoa man you took it to another level!! Wow I never thought about it like that. Hmmmmm that is definitely something to think on. You are totally right though. Your perceptions do change over time, and there is so much that factors into our perceptions. Interesting thought. Thanks for blowing my mind a bit there @poetrybyjeremy! Glad to meet you, sir :)
well, I did graduate in both philosophy and psychology... so that's just my kind of thing!
Really good photo, I'd really liked it
