“Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” Berenice Abbott
I agree with this quote, but I also wish that I could disagree with it. I feel like there is some example where photography could represent the future. The only trouble is I am unable to think of an example of where it possibly could. This is something that I will keep in mind and hopefully find an answer too. Otherwise, this quote is very true. Especially when it comes to family photography, we look at it and see a time and place in the past. However, other types of photos, such as one of a tree, are not so time specific but can still suggest a period in the past.
