In Nan Goldin’s perspective, a photograph can reveal and help one understand one’s self and one’s life. I think Sontag and Goldin would agree that Photography is a weapon against anxiety. Goldin was scared she would forget things, and would take pictures to made sure she remembered, diminishing that anxiety. Sontag described an example of people on a trip, having to take pictures of things to alleviate their anxiety of not knowing how to process whatever they were experiencing. There are few differences between selfies and self-portraits. A selfie is usually taken by a smart phone or a webcam and often shared on social media, where as a self-portrait is made using a picture, reflection, or even a memory. I feel like a selfie is a bit more shallow, and a self-portrait has more of a thought-process, and meaning behind it.
