Timelapse is an excellent way to show events that unfold too slowly for
humans to stay concentrated on the event. On a philosophical level there's a
deep meaning in observing a flower unfold as the sun rises, a mould
spreading on a petri dish, or the seasons shift. It certainly grounds you to
nature in a very specific way. But then you'd also have to ask yourself if
life really is long enough for that sort of thing.
As a genre, timelapse has been around for more than a generation already. As
with all other image-making, digital has made it available to a much, much
larger group of practicioners.

It is a nice set of photos, thanks for posting the link, Dan.
I was thinking about it at a philosophical level:
time-lape photos as a new genre.
There is a recent (~20 years?) trend when we don't have time
(and desire) to focus on watching anything for longer than a few seconds.
So, this type of video is an alternative way of showing that.
Does it look cool because of this or it is just cool?
So, is it a "trend du jour", or a genre that was enabled by technology
and will last?
I wonder what fellow PDMLers think about it.
