In the passage “The Thing Itself” by John Szarkowski, I believe the difference between the thing and the subject is that when a camera takes a photograph its only showing a brief moment in time while the subject moves on with time. Each photo shows a unique memory as if time stopped. One day you have a head full of hair and then the next day its gone.

Good start with a cute twist. There are other ways though that a photograph is different than the thing itself.
