Time?

Time to me is nothing more than a series of fragments. It is like how a series of points along a graph seem to form a line to the naked eye until they are inspected more closely. Time seems linear to us, because we are in the fourth dimension, according to dimension theory, but in fact it is composed of numerous different outcomes that cannot possibly be theorized. If one could enter the 5th dimension then they would be able to see that time in the fourth dimension is nothing more then a series of points. But because we are forced to be contained within the fourth dimension and need to travel along the line we cannot realize this. Because of this time becomes unimportant to our lives just as the third dimension becomes unimportant to someone who lives in it. So one cannot worry to much about time because it is simply a line with multiple paths that can be chosen.

Question # 2 Color Vs. Black and White Portraits

I disagree with Grants quote, but I see the validity in it. When you photograph a person in black and white the viewer is often drawn to the eyes or facial features of the person. This allows the viewer to see how that person is feeling and to relate with them to a certain point. It allows a person to see what they are truly thinking at that moment and allows for there emotions to be seen without the distraction of bright colors that will draw ones eyes away from the subject. In my opinion though, a persons soul is a cumulation of there emotions and all of their past emotions. The color of the clothes that they picked out for the day display their tastes, wants, and attitudes in more than just that one moment. Because of this fact that I believe that a persons choice in how they present themselves to the world help defines who they are I believe that making color portraits better shows a person soul.
