No, every album is something like a snapshot. It only shows one moment in time. It shows what we feel and think right at that point in time, nothing more and nothing less.
If an election is simply a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions, then this is not a very noble form of government.
I like films to be pure cinema, but I also like them to provide a snapshot of a family, a society or a character – something that can nourish you as a human being as well as an actor.
I think of something quite different from a snapshot. I know of a lot of poems, some very fine ones, that are like snapshots, but I’m more interested in poetry that is like an endless film, long stories, things that weave together many different strands, like a big piece of cloth, not like a photograph.
I don’t think I’ll ever do a record that’s just the same song over and over again because I’d like to think about it like it’s an album and a snapshot of everything that makes you who you are and where you’re at at that time in your life.
We always try to make each record a snapshot of the band at that time.

If there remain places on the planet that are un-known, unspoilt corners, a laboratory for evolution still exists – a snapshot of what the rainforests, polar deserts and high mountains were once like, before man.
I really admire paintings that look like an actual snapshot – I think that’s just extraordinary.
I’ve started to see records as just a snapshot, a portrait of where you were at at that time. And if you’re comfortable with that, sometimes it’s like an old high school year book picture – it makes you blush a little bit, but you gotta learn to really appreciate each stage of your life and where you’re at.
Novels can be a snapshot of a moment in time, or several moments in time, and as a reader, that’s what I really like, and as a writer, it’s what I’m drawn to also.
I’m no snapshot artist. I make very careful choices always, even if I’m using a 35mm camera.
An album is like a book or a diary or a snapshot… It just feels so like the end of a chapter when you finish one.
The way you see me on ‘Jersey’ is a snapshot, and you can’t judge from a snapshot.
A CD is only a snapshot of the songs at a given time.
In the digital universe, our personal history and its sense of narrative is succeeded by our social networking profile – a snapshot of the current moment. The information itself – our social graph of friends and likes – is a product being sold to market researchers in order to better predict and guide our futures.
I just think that there is something that keeps us together, to keep doing what we’re doing. I can’t really put my finger on it other than each record is like a little snapshot of my life at that particular moment, the way I play, the way I sound, the way I wrote, the way I sing, I can hear it.
The way things have changed. The pictures in the womb they have now. They’re just amazing. They’re just like a snapshot of a person.
‘Salt’ is like this snapshot in midair, an action shot. It’s about my relationship with the church, the classical and choral music that I dealt with in school, and my new introduction to jazz. It’s very hard for me to listen to from beginning to end, because I hear how lost I was.
My life has been amazing. How many other ladies of 76 can say that the snapshot on their senior citizen’s card was taken by Norman Parkinson?
A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.
In the ’70s, in Britain, if you were going to do serious photography, you were obliged to work in black-and-white. Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.
I like using snapshot cameras because they’re idiot-proof. I have bad eyesight, and I’m no good at focusing big cameras.
Well, you know, it’s been interesting because an album is just a snapshot of where you are at that time. Not all pictures of everybody are just in jeans and a ‘T’ shirt, or a ball gown. You have many different sides and this is a snapshot of where you are at that time.
I’m proud of my father, but my pride cannot be fully measured by that snapshot in history. Because contrary to first glance, my father’s legacy comes not from his presiding over the final act in the drama of fighting for equal rights – his legacy is about setting the stage.
I understand how a first impression is often just that: a quick snapshot that, on its own merit, is meaningless.

When we made the first album, it was meant to be a snapshot of Mumford & Sons in 2009.
I actually grew up around the corner from where Harold Pinter did. If you want a snapshot of my childhood, me and Pinter, we essentially grew up together.
I don’t think I approach my songs differently from other artists. You get a big picture of it, and you imagine the song and hear and feel it, and that big picture is like a snapshot, and it comes to you as fast as it takes to click a camera.
Every snapshot collector has obsessions. Some only collect photos of cars. Others like World War II, or babies, or old-timey girls in old-timey swimsuits. I happen to collect the weird stuff: photos that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little. The uncanny.
Use visual cues to prompt yourself to put away more. A photograph of the beach house where you and your husband can envision spending your retirement will remind you to bump up the contribution to your 401(k); a snapshot of your child in a college sweatshirt can encourage you to put more into a 529 college savings plan.
When I taught, the way in which we got evaluated is what I used to call the drive-by evaluation. Somebody would come in for 20 minutes with a checklist, and that would be your evaluation. So it was clearly a snapshot.
What lists and awards don’t measure – and I feel this strongly – is the lasting value of any work of art. They’re a snapshot of a moment, and one should always consider their judgments in that context.
