Susan Sontag

The purpose of this photo was to commemorate a Christmas season. I keep it because its a picture my family might want, but it does not have much significance to me personally beyond being a nice picture of my parents. Since they are my parents and wanted a nice picture, i did my best to frame the shot well and get catch them at their best. It took a few shots and this is the best one. My mother had a rather serious attitude towards the photo taking, however my father made some faces in some other shots. The picture is meant to be viewed by family or visitors, it was printed and framed and is displayed in the home. It might be remembered for a couple years, but not for 10, but its nice to look back upon.
This picture was taken at a cosplay meetup at an anime convention. It was meant to be a cool picture to look and and record the costumes and the event. I keep it because its an awesome picture, and the event was a lot of fun and it reminds me of that. There isn't any emotional relationship between me and the photographer here, so the quality of the picture might have suffered slightly. The photographer also might not have had the best feelings towards the character either. This photo is intended to be viewed mostly on the internet, by people who either know to look for it, or stumble upon it. I don't know if others will, but i know ill remember it for the rest of my life.
The purpose of this photo is to document this person's tattoo. I keep it because i find it cool. I know the picture here and the character and its amusing to see someone dedicated enough to get it tattooed, which is why I keep it. The emotional relationship between  the photographer and the subject is most likely a close one. Most likely a freind, someone who would be into the same sort of thing and would want to take the picture. The subject is proudly posing for the photographer, and the photographer was not afraid to get close enough to the subject. This picture might have originally been meant for just friends to view, but I found it on the internet, so it was obviously placed online somewhere. I don't think I will remember it 10 years from now, its not that significant to me.
