Jason Williams, 2025

Do you ever feel like your memories are slipping away—until a photograph brings them flooding back? In a world drowning in images, we're still haunted by one central question: What do photographs do to our memories—and our sense of self? If you've ever wondered why a single photo can evoke tears, trigger buried trauma, or transport you across decades, Lost Time and the Meaning of Photography is your essential guide. Whether you're a photographer, historian, grieving loved one, or simply a human being living in the age of visual overload, this book will challenge your understanding of memory, mourning, and meaning. Unlock the hidden power behind every photograph you've ever taken—or kept. In this gripping and poetic exploration, you'll learn: Why photography isn't just a way to capture life, but a way to construct identity. How grieving individuals and entire cultures use images to keep the dead alive—and what that means for healing. Why do some photographs bring comfort while others deepen the ache of loss? The neuroscience behind memory and image—how your brain processes pictures and how it changes who you are. How national tragedies and historical trauma are archived, mythologized, or erased through visual media. What we risk losing in the flood of selfies, algorithm-curated memories, and disappearing snaps. You'll walk away with a deep understanding of how personal photos shape the story you tell yourself—and how collective images shape the stories nations tell about themselves. Ready to rediscover your past—and reshape your future—one image at a time? Buy Lost Time and the Meaning of Photography today and start your journey into the memory behind the lens.
