The Power of Internet Images Questions

1. She's trying to show she's adventurous, outgoing, goes out and does things a lot, happy, and carefree.

2. I suppose she was successful. The pictures do illustrate her going different places and enjoying them.

3. I don't know. You can't really tell through pictures because who they are online may not be who they are in real life.

The Last Girl Response

The change in viewpoint changes my interpretation of the image completely. The picture is actually of a man climbing a billboard picture of a young girl's face, which probably took a lot of prep and planning to do. It is one contiguous image because they just took a picture of him climbing. The billboard is in an urban setting, so I assume people in the city or a city-type area would see the picture. I feel maybe the intended audience is either parents or young girls. The girl's face doesn't really show much emotion, perhaps a bit of sadness, but she mostly just stares with a blank face. It makes me feel slightly uncomfortable or upset because she doesn't look happy and she's just staring right at you.

Responding to Image by Gottfried Helnwein

The image is of a man hiking up a woman's face. This is an artistic image that was photoshopped. I think it means that the man represents her thoughts or herself climbing over something big and it's showing that your biggest challenger is yourself/other people. I think his intent was to show that to people. To me this image says that the climb is going to be tough. The difference in scale between the man and the woman add to my interpretation of the photograph because it looks like he's climbing someone bigger than himself and trying to get over the situation. 

Photograph Your Fears

Enochlophobia is the fear of crowds. I chose this fear because I am afraid of being surrounded by a large group of people, especially when they are focused on me or if I don't know them. I'm scared of this because I suffer from anxiety.
