It's a bit unfair to act as though nihilism simply removes all profound meaning from things. After all, life has a terrible mortality rate, but it's oddly not 100% [0]. We tend I live as though we'll keep living, a delusion that takes hold pretty hard for most people. A photograph helps reset that, as it's always showing a point in the past that's now lost, but does so with clarity; normally the past is fuzzier than that, and that can be a bit disquieting. Heck, I'm not a professional philosopher by any stretch, though. Just someone who putters with stuff. [0] http://what-if.xkcd.com/27/ http://what-if.xkcd.com/27/ "I plan to live forever.
