Photography BA- 2011
The way the photograph conveys a sense of time is something that has confused and fascinated me in more or less equal measures.
Typically we see the photograph used to evoke a past event and it is in this vein that we commonly encounter the medium (in family albums and newspapers for example). However the more I considered photography the clearer it became to me that the photograph is not constrained to existing within one time frame. It can certainly convey a sense of events past. But it can be used to imply some future occurrence that is yet to transpire.
Equally it can give us an immediate experience that exists outside of the past or future tense.
