Actually every camera on this earth can take pictures of past events. curious as to how this is possible? I'll tell you how.
Take any digital or film camera video or still doesnt matter. mount it on a tripod or hold your camera very still. At night, when this is recomended for best results, point your camera up to the sky and take a picture. See the stars in your pictures? yes? then chances are, youve just taken a picture of past events. When light leaves a star, we don't see the images of the star for hundred or maybe thousands of years. The image you see of the star is a gleaming glory of a past long gone by the time it reaches earth. Some of the stars may not even exist anymore.
Looking for another answer? Something like seeing what someone did in your bathroom to clog the toilet? I doubt any camera will ever be able to do that for you. At least not in the line of generating a traition picture.
The guy was talking in a relative term of captured moments. Your question is relavant. It isnt good to say that the camera captures pictures of the past because it makes people ask this question. At the time of the event the camera was there and so was the picture. Then the action of capture for the picture is parallel to the event it captured at it's present time not it's past.

Spalding wasn't speaking in literal terms. Metaphorically speaking all cameras are time machines. As soon as the shutter closes on the camera it captures a moment never to occur again. Whether you are looking at a print of a dead civil war soldier from 150 years ago, or a photo just captured on your cell phone 2 seconds ago, you are viewing the past.

yes. but provided with the condition that past event should be recorded in video format by any one. u can put your search of the events which was likely to be covered by someone. u can have photographs through the photocutter software. so simple.

Yes. Get a time machine. Travel back in time. Take pictures.
