QUESTION #1: "How are emotions..."



QUESTION #1.
How are emotions raised by a photograph (work of art) different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a 'sad' photograph/painting different from another experience of sadness?)
Is it different for different kinds of emotion? (For example, is a 'happy' photograph more universally descriptive?)
If so, how? If not, why not?

Emotions that are from a photograph are quite different from typical human emotions. When you look at a sad photo, like the owl, I guarantee you're either saying ,"Aww," or at least thinking it. Thats just you showing empathy; you're not actually feeling what the owl is feeling. And it's the same for happy photos, like the kid playing in the leaves. Except this time you're saying or thinking, "AWW," with a more joyful tone.
