19 People Who Managed to Capture a Photo of Time Itself

Time changes everything around us: nature, our homes, our things, and even us. Sometimes, we don’t notice this change but at other times, the change is so striking that it’s scary and amazing at the same time.

We at Bright Side have found 19 photos that clearly demonstrate how fast time goes by.

1. “I lost the crease on my ring finger after not bending it for 10 years due to an injury.”

2. “Pillow I slept on nightly for 7 years vs A new one”

3. “After years of wearing socks my father’s shins have become hairless.”
