 The purpose of this photo was to document my best friend's reaction to her present that I made for her. I keep it to remember the support and confidence that she has for me and my art. I chose it for this assignment because it has a deep meaning to me personally.

The emotional relationship to the photographer and the subject is familiar. This makes the photo off center and imperfect. I look at this photo with remembrance. The subject is happy and impatient with the photographer.

The context is ment to be viewed in a memory book

This photo was taken to commemorate a vacation and my courage to be in a 14 story Eifle tower.  The photographer is unfamiliar with the subject.  I picked the photo because it is a strong memory for me. It is a momento of one of my favorite vacations.
