Sontag Photo Analysis

Sontag Photo Analysis: Picture taken with someone I know

a: The purpose of this photo is to show my relationship with my girlfriend and when we were on vacation. I chose this for the assignment because I like the background and it signifies good times that we have. I keep it to archive vacation photos that were taken in Florida.
b: The emotional relationship between the photo is that she is my girlfriend and has been for eight years now and counting. The way that the picture is influenced is a personal connection since we have been involved for a long time and that she is my first and official romantic relationship. My attitude towards the photo is an affectionate one. The way I look at the photo is a loving way of looking at it and it always makes me smile when I look at it.
c: The photo is meant to be viewed by me and my girlfriend to reminisce on a good time in our relationship. It has been just about 7 years since I took this photo with the camera on a rock and well.... unless I get amnesia somehow (I am hoping not) then I will remember this in ten years and more.

Sontag photo 2: Taken of me by someone else

a: This photo was taken for humorous purposes. I keep it because it allows me to laugh at myself and reminds me of the time that I shaved my head and I look like the fish guy from "Hellboy". I chose it for the assignment because it is significant to me and its significance is how fun it was snorkeling.
b: The emotional relationship between me and my girlfriend (who took the picture) is a romantic one. The relationship allows me to be myself without inhibitions and make a fool of myself without worries therefore my attitude towards the picture is to be a clown and her attitude is to clown me.
c: The photo is intended to be viewed by anyone who wishes to laugh at how the picture was taken. It is not necessarily a personal photo. I will remember it for years to come when I remember taking a photo that makes me look like a fish alien.
Sontag photo 3: Taken by someone I don't know of someone I don't know

a: The purpose of the photo is a glamour shot I would imagine. I don't really keep the photo but I probably will now. The image shows how the beautiful lady has a green and a blue eye. It is really trippy but very attractive. Very exotic.
b: There probably is not an emotional relationship between the subject and the photographer because it seems like a professional shot that is meant for advertising. The attitude of the subject towards the photographer is one that showcases her beauty. The photographer's attitude towards the subject is probably one that makes him (if the photographer is a he) think and say "Damm!"
c: The photo was meant to be viewed by everybody since it is online. Although I have never heard of a person with two different-colored eyes, I will remember the person but probably not this specific photo in ten years.
