I firmly believe that when you take a picture and capture a moment on film, you stop time, and that moment never ends. That is why I like to take and keep photographs; it is my way of preserving things so that I don’t lose them.I know the pictures in this entry are of flowers but it was the best I had, and they are really pretty. But they do make my point as well. These two flowers are in bloom and were in bloom yesterday. But soon they will fade away and the blooms will be gone. But these pictures will stay the same. The blooms are there forever.

I know it may seem crazy, but here is my reasoning. In a photo subjects are in a position permanently. They don’t move; they don’t change or disappear. So it holds the memory forever in place. That means that though in the outside world, time keeps going and wipes things away; in pictures they last forever and do not change at all. Isn’t it possible that we possess the power to stop time and prevent it from destroying things as it passes? I argue that a good photographer possesses the power to save a moment forever.
