Why are humans fond of taking/posing for pictures?
I think it's because one way or another we accept the fact that nothing lasts, no matter how significant or simple that single moment may be. And the easiest thing we can do about it is to capture that moment in paper. Hoping that someday, that exact moment would relive itself the next time that photograph is seen.
I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in Gateway with Uzi and Kj. It was a good movie, but I felt sad after. At some point in your life, you might eventually get the things you've always wanted. But there is no guarantee that those things will last.
People do change. Even the most final of things can.
