Being endowed with several superpowers (wink), it took me some time to narrow them down and choose just one.
I chose TIME TRAVEL and honestly I think we all that power. As a child I watched Mr. Peabody and Sherman travel backin their Wayback Machine to witness first-hand famous moments in history. Later on, I enjoyed sci-fi films that used this theme, along with the various Back to the Future films. I am also an Outlander fan, waiting impatiently for Season Six... and maybe more. Ray Bradbury, my favorite fantasy author, wrote The Sound of Thunder, alluding to possible catastrophic consequences of meddling in the past.
So I have chosen a safer route. I travel back through time through photo albums, be they the old-fashioned paper/leather albums or digital ones. I often 'return' to visit places I have lived or spent a lot of time in, for example France and India, and of course the US. Through photographs I relieve moments here in Serbia spent with my husband and children. Sensory details from those photos spring to life: sounds, tastes, smells, the feel of wet grass or smooth silk, and the sight of someone or something I may have forgotten.
The above photo I cherish very much. It shows four generations of women on my mother's side of the family, and mini-me at the age of around 5 months.
As far as I know, no one has come up with a true time machine like in H.G. Wells' novel, but no matter. We all have our own through photographs.
See what other City Photo bloggers have shown as their superpower right here.
