At times, I don’t like how I only capture one moment in time with a regular camera. I experimented with finding a way to show movement in photographs and not just hint at it with a single image. I agree with what Susan Sontag said about videos, each frame cancels out the previous one leaving no specific significant image. I think an important aspect of photography is that there is an image that can be viewed for as long as someone chooses to view it. In movies the director dictates that. I recently purchased a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 camera and thought it would be interesting to take photos with it and tape the print it made onto or near whatever I photographed. I would then photograph that resulting image with a digital camera. The resulting photo would show two images, one of the Instax print and one of the original composition from a new angle. In the case of the above photo, the photo could even show the lack of movement from one photo to the next but still show the passing of time.
