The Reason why people take a picture

Gastby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further .... And one fine morning -
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly the past.

The Great Gatsby


I got known the reason why people take a picture when I see Mr. Nobuyoshi Araki's photo and read his words.
I guess that he is known as a nude photographer.
But I love his snapshot.
His snapshot comes with timestamp.

We just want to keep a scene or a feeling at this time forever.
We don't mind whether it is art or not.
And someone says photo is just a record.

Now, I keep the reason in my mind when I take a picture.

Thank you for reading my poor English writing.
I hope that I want you to understand I want to say here.
