A photograph holds a power that a video cannot replicate. Time itself is relentless, slipping through our grasp, unpausable and unstoppable. While a video can pause, it is not time—it is merely an echo, a constructed shadow trying to mimic the flow of life. It can never truly capture the essence of a moment, only a reflection of its form.
In a world where time is precious, it feels impractical to expect anyone to devote themselves endlessly to watching videos. A photograph, by contrast, offers the gift of immediacy—a single glance can reveal a story, evoke emotion, and preserve the fleeting. This is why my heart leans toward photographs; they are timeless in their efficiency and profound in their simplicity.
