Photographs are amazing! Through photographs, we preserve history - our child's first steps, a decaying landscape, or rare and endangered animals. We use photographs to recall man's first steps on the moon, the inauguration of a new President, the lifting of a flag on a far-away hill during war. Mothers laboriously decorate large scrapbooks just to protect their precious memories. Photographs evoke the essence of places we have not been to, we perhaps will not return to, and should never forget. Photographs are frozen memories.
