"It'll make an interesting event for your note book, Tom," declared Felix. "A deer is seldom seen around this region," Josh ventured to say; "which makes our luck all the more remarkable. I wouldn't have missed that sight for a good deal!" "I saw Stanley Ackerman using his camera, so let's hope he got a bunch of snapshots that'll show the whole circus," Felix announced.
"Yes, only that instead of taking two months loitering along I could do the job in ten days, perhaps," was the answer. "Oh! what a lucky dog you are," sighed Will; "think of the innumerable chances for taking magnificent snapshots along the way." "Hold on.
The trip to Denver was full of interest, and Dick was sorry he did not have a camera along, that he might take snapshots of the scenery. Yet he was impatient to get to his destination and stake out the missing Eclipse Mine before Arnold Baxter and his confederates should have the chance to do so. It was the afternoon of the next day when Denver was reached, and a light rain was falling.
We take snapshots, as it were, of the passing reality, and, as these are characteristic of the reality, we have only to string them on a becoming, abstract, uniform and invisible, situated at the back of the apparatus of knowledge, in order to imitate what there is that is characteristic in this becoming itself.

But he gave one or two splendid snapshots of actors and their egregious vanity.
"You don't want to sleep on the heather, I suppose!" "Bow-wow! Shouldn't mind!" laughed Kitty. "We could cling together and keep each other warm." "You won't cling to me, thanks! I prefer a bed of my own." Nora, having brought a good supply of films for her Brownie camera, was most keen on taking snapshots.
With one hand she was combing it, with the other she fingered a bundle of snapshots taken on their honeymoon lovely snapshots, full of sunshine and queer, characteristic positions and expressions. They might, she thought, have been taken by a loving detective. Tony came in. "Do you remember," she said and then, suddenly, with a wave of misery, she realised it. The phrase did not belong to her.
