From "Inuk, the Inventor" as it appeared in the Korean Lit anthology Azalea

"Photographs don’t just capture people, they capture time as well.
No, you can’t catch hold of time. You can only think you catch time.
Time keeps moving forward, and we stop as we look at the image.
It occurred to me that maybe the reason pictures exist is so we can
constantly lag behind in the race with time."

Have too much reading already...
