Photography is a medium that is famous for freezing time. The word snapshot suggests that a tiny slice of time is recorded for posterity.

But we do know that time is also a dimension, like length, breadth and width.

Physicists have a model called space-time: suggesting that time is part of a continuum with the 3 dimensions that we are familiar with.
