Photographer Jeff Hirsch has created this one minute video to explain why photographers do what they do. As he notes, photographers can “seize the moment” and “freeze time.” As I once explained to one of my photography students decades ago: “In the picture you create, there is a world that will never again appear in that exact juxtaposition; ever!”

This is a fast moving video, but watch all the beautiful pictures fly by and admire the sights and “captures” that Jeff Hirsch has seen and made.
