The statement or quote “Without events there is no time” is a very thought provoking idea and I think can be discussed from many different angles. The concept of time has such a multifaceted definition that depending on how one defines time can determine whether they agree or disagree with the thought. I think that one can both argue for the suggestion that time depends on events or against it and suggest for example that events depend on time. The multifaceted concept of time is why for me this statement was particularly hard for to reflect, on because I feel like it can have be both valid and invalid.
Reflecting on the quote, I think that there is some validity in the statement. Defining time adds a unique dimension to the idea that is presented; with out events there is no time. I say this because time can be defined as ‘a system of distinguishing events’ or a period where an action or condition occurs. When I think of the concept of time in this manner I think of a series of consecutive events that over time create an event. I also think that this statement is valid and true because events and the recording of events for example through photography show or demonstrate time as progression and measuring intervals from one thing to the next. Therefore without the recording of events it would be harder to show how for example the life, style, and actions have changed or remained the same, or even evolved into something new over this progressive period of time.
I also think that this statement does not have some validity because from a photographic standpoint, it takes time to capture an image. In this way the definition if time is applied as the measurement of a second, minute, or hour according to a clock. So therefore when a camera is used to make an image it uses a certain amount of time exposed to light to produce the image. This concept of time in creating images is applied both while the film is in the camera and also when making a print.
