Let’s Begin…
Our
eyes are practically magical, but they cannot see everything. For
instance, the naked eye cannot see the moment where all four of a
horse’s legs are in the air or the gradual life cycle of plants -- but
cameras can capture these moments. Bill Shribman gives examples where
photography can pick up where the eye leaves off.
Can you distinguish your memories of an event from your memories of pictures taken at that event? For example, can you remember a childhood vacation differently to photos you may have seen since, or do they become your memory of it?
