Time?

What does time mean to you?

Time means the moments in a day that you cherish. It's the minutes you get with your family and friends. The memories you create. Time holds hours and minutes, but it also holds moments. I think the moments are what matter when it comes to time. Time is this empty space that we fill in with our limbo of events. Sometimes it feels like time goes by so slow. I really think that's just because there isn't a lot going on at that moment for the person. Their day wasn't action packed with a bunch of events or people. Time flies when you having fun is such a true statement. When I go anywhere with my family, it always feels like the time goes by way too fast. The days seem shorter, but the smiles and memories are so bright. When people look back in time, they aren't looking for a specific hour in most cases (unless you go to a doctor or the hospital, then time is literally of the essence) but when the average person goes back in time. They're going back to a distant memory.

Question 2

Question:
When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white you photograph their souls!" Ted Grant
Do you agree or disagree?

I agree with this statement because when your photograph a person in color it's busy. You look at the color of the clothes their wearing, and maybe the color of their hair or eyes. But when the photo is in black and white, you can see the depth a person can have. You pay closer attention to their facial expression. Does the smile reach their eyes? Do they seem happy or sad? You can see the layers of expression their eyes hold. And their body stature. If they're comfortable and relaxed in the scene. Are they closed off.  Black and White brings in different meanings to the images. It's not about the clothes. It makes the viewer focus on the person.
