The Power of Internet Images

Below is an Instagram screenshot from the account of one Jenny Wanderlust.  Like so many people, Jenny has shared a few far-from-random images in an effort to portray herself in a particular light.

Based solely on the photographs she chose to post,what is the image that Jenny is trying to project?...Adventurous? Curious? Brave? 
Jenny is brave, adventurous, curious, smart, good photographer

Do you think she was successful?
Yes i think she was successful. Her photographs turned out amazing and show her personality and what type of person she is.

Do you think that Jenny is someone who would be a good role model? A good mother? A good wife? A good friend?  

I think jenny goes by the saying that you only live once because se makes the most out of life. I don'ts think that she would be the best mother because of the third picture looking dangerous on the top of a building. I think that jenny would be an awesome friend because she likes having fun and making the most out of life.

How does this change in viewpoint change your interpretation of the image?

With that in mind, describe Helnwein's image in as much detail as you can and in a separate post, record your answers on your Blog. Look at the image closely (Click on it to enlarge). What do you see? Describe it as if you were recounting it in detail to someone who had never seen it. Think about the scale--how could the size affect the meaning?  Think about the material, the logistics and engineering of mounting it.  Is it one contiguous image or is it spliced together or can't you tell? Think about the location--is it urban? Rural? Residential? Industrial? Given the image's location, who do you think will see the it? Who is the intended audience? Describe the mood of the image. What is the expression on the girl's face? Is it blase? Is it engaged? Is it optimistic? Wondering? Melancholy? 

The image is very high resolution. The image is of a girl with grey eyes a button nose and dirty blonde hair.In image three there is a car that is driven by the worker putting up the image on the building.The image is poster on the wall of a building thats on a dock on the water. As the size of the image is compared to the regular size of the people it shows how important the meaning of the image is. I believe this image has many pieces to it and is flattened as one image. It looks like it is made out of giant poster board. I believe that the image is definitely in a urban area because its on the side of a big building where theres people.  I believe that people in boats and many workers will see the image. The intended audience is people coming over seas to the city to see their children again. The expression on the girls face is hope and wondering if one day she'll get to see someone she cares for again.
