The selfie is one of the most popular images to post on social media. People look to their favorite celebrity, actor, or actress' Instagram page and aspire to be/look more like that person. There are several young people who want to change the way they look because they see a certain celebrity looking very pretty and skinny in a photo they just posted, and it makes them feel self conscious and wish they looked more like them. Selfies are abused because they are mainly used with the idea that you have to be the "perfect" human being in the image. They may be used to boost one's self esteem, but they can also be seen as self empowering. When a selfie is posted, that person feels happy enough about how they look in the picture to have shared it with others. Although it is just one photo and doesn't express the person's full beauty and personality, it is a step towards fulfilling their confidence in themselves. Even if the way they get that confidence is by getting 100 likes on a selfie on Instagram.

This is a photograph because it shows history behind the hands holding the raspberries. It is a close up and also has a good composition between the red of the raspberries and the green of the leaves. This is a photograph because it shows strength within the mother and baby because of their strong hold on each other. It shows the bond between the two. This is a photograph because I included the green grasses in the background for definition and positioned the flower in the center of the photo to draw people to its beauty. This is a picture because I captured my garden but also included a window and my front door in it, it was obviously not taken very professionally. This is a picture because I quickly snapped it at the end of math class once we had finished playing a game. We were supposed to make every row and column equal 31, and it was mostly just to have a memory of it. This is a picture because it includes a random car, a green hose poking out from on my driveway, the grass I am standing on, and the street. It has no purpose or meaning.
A picture is an image that includes details on the surface. Pictures normally show a posed portrait of someone or something. A photograph is an image that represents a deeper meaning behind what is really occurring. Photographs are not posed, and capture important moments.
