The importance of imaging 1.

This is a photo of my great grandmother. I investigate the essence of 'seeing', and noticed that the way we see has a greater impact than I expected. The way in which we like to present ourselves is also important. That was in the past, but also in this time. How is the profile photo with which we present ourselves on social media? I've never seen my great grandmother in real life, but a photo shows you a lot. She thought it was important to dress nicely for a photo. This photo not only shows her but by the way she was dressed, it gives also an idea of her time.
