The transience of time is impossible to stop—it would be supernatural to do so—but if you think about it, the vast and immense world of art offers us a way to achieve just that. It gives us photography, the only medium capable of stopping time and allowing each instant to last forever. A photograph is not merely a tool for fixing an image onto paper; a photograph is the eye of the photographer, a window into their world—a window that opens directly onto the courtyard of a soul that observes, attentive to everything around it.
