The impact they can have comes in a multitude of ways: photos can entertain, transport, clarify, manipulate, delight, startle, motivate, calm, amuse, prove, inform, flatter, destroy, remind, shock, document…
They’re snapshots – a cut through the time line, that allow us to watch already gone situations from a specific angle – and experience it newly in our mind.
