Read MoreImmortal at 1/500th of a second
I believe that photography is a way to live forever, a photograph is a way to freeze time and capture light. Its a magical thing that allows people from the future to glimpse into the past; an almost perfect time capsule, it's a true reflection in reality at that very moment. Although photographs can be set up or hoaxed in that 1/500th of a second, the moment is frozen in time and it's a true reflection of the artists' imagination and a glimpse into that persons' reality at that very moment. Therefore the subject and imagination of the artist is immortal as long as the print lives on for someone to find it, or in our case as long as the digital file is in the cloud and people are surfing the web, the artist and subject are immortal.
