I took this picture last summer. Its my two little nephews crab hunting. The purpose of this photo was to simply capture a moment. The positions of the kids were intentional as anyone can guess its hard to get kids to set still for anything. I love sharing photos of my nephews because their such a huge part of my life as I'm the uncle C.J. who lives next door. I have a very strong bond with them and it influenced the way the picture was taken simply with their attitude in the picture, a somewhat forced smile that seems to just be piled on top of a totally natural smile. They were having a blast on the beach hunting crabs with their awesome uncle, whats not to love.
My room mate took this picture of me "partaking". This picture has no significance beyond the fact that it turned out pretty cool and I am pretty amazing at making smoke rings. The purpose of taking this picture was just to capture the moment like any other photo; why not when a digital camera today can take 600 pictures and put them on a tiny little card with ease. My room mate is one of my best friends and me and him just enjoy playing video games and smoking along with getting creative with the smoke. I obviously intended on having the picture taken, I am facing the camera and the action is intended to be captured in the frame.
This is just some dude at a NORML function. It was most likely taken just to document that the man was at the function and probably post it on a blog or other website for either party. I would imagine their was no warning that the picture was going to be taken or that there is any relationship between the photographer and the subject. The man seems to be preoccupied with a conversation or another activity.
