Photo Analysis

Writing Assignment 2
This photo appears to be of cupcake like items decorated in bright colors to look like faces. This remind me of the restaurant cupcakes by Melissa in Soho and makes me hungry and nostalgic.
This photo is of a bear looking in on a swimming pool at a girl who is staring back at him. This photo reminds me of my time spent in Colorado in which i frequented the public swimming pool as well as saw alot of wildlife and thus this photo also makes me feel nostalgic for my youth which i am seeing may be a factor as to why i am drawn towards photos.

Why do people photograph? Writing assignment 1 REDO

Fortunately my opinions why people photograph have not changed at all, which i see as a good thing.

I believe that photos have many purposes. Photographs can be used for whatever the specific photographer intends, literally anything. A photo can save someones life, illicit emotions from people or even kill. This is why every photo is unique, no matter how generic, they all have a purpose. Although photos all have their own meaning, this can also change with context. A photo of a plane crashing would typically be seen as horrific and sad if seen on the news, however if this same photo was on a CD cover it may be seen as artistic and possibly even beautiful. This is why although all photos have a purpose, context affects how this purpose is interpretted and therefore is important.
