Pictures are simply moments frozen in time!
They make it possible for us to travel through time. 

Our own personal time machine but we can only catch a glimpse of the past, they have no way of telling us what the future may hold.

Relics of time and space, intergalactic instruments if you will, propelling us from one reality to the next. I wonder what stories all these pictures would tell, if they really could say a thousand words.

A thousand words too many, maybe! or perhaps a thousand not enough.

If you press one up against your ear, maybe! just maybe! you might hear the faint whisper of a life once lived.
