In the last class we talked about what is found photography, and what is involved in the action of taking a photo, and one of the comments was that we pose when someone is taking our photo because as the object of focus we have no power over what the frame will look like. I agree with this statement, but it also seems odd to me, because why then so we continuously in today's technological society subject ourselves to so many photos? So many chances to not be viewed as we would like to be, so many instances where a photo can just be god awful, and so many frames of the same pose, the same head position, the same people?
Is it a desire to preserve a memory and moment in time? Or is it a means to keep our image up?
