Questions
Under what circumstances does the date or even hour that a photograph was taken make a difference? How might this constrain meaning-making?
Is a photo where this matters different in nature than a photo where it is irrelevant or can’t be known? Is a photograph an event, in essence, or merely an emblem or icon?
