Photography can only represent the present. Once photographe

Summary

This quote highlights the unique temporal nature of photography. It recognizes that when something or someone is captured through photography, that moment instantly becomes a thing of the past. The photograph freezes a specific point in time, forever representing it as a part of history. It emphasizes the ephemerality of the present moment and reminds us that photography is not only a document of reality, but also a permanent record of what once was.
