    “Teju Cole's contributions to "On Photography," the NYT Magazine's column on photographers and their work, were something I looked forward to every week for years. In "The Image of Time," from 2017, he considers what I call the non-decisive moment, or, returning to photograph a place many times over weeks/months/years to see how somewhere changes.”
