LIFE CHANGES QUICKLY.
AND how wonderful an invention the camera, and that it was invented early enough to catch so much history.
I picture American Indians slapping themselves in the forehead at having never discovered the wheel, thinking to themselves: “How much we missed! How much we could have accomplished! If only we had discovered the wheel as a tool..!”
In fairness, because the American continent lacked horses, cows, and other draft animals until after Europeans arrived, the wheel was less urgently needed until then.
That’s the opposite of how I feel when looking at old photographs — how lucky we were to have discovered the camera..!
