In adding text to photographs, the viewer’s emotions and thoughts are instantly altered.  In Carrie Mae Weems, From Here I Saw What Happened and And I Cried, if the text was not added to the photographs, I might not have thought about a deeper meaning other than it being an interesting combination with an image and its mirror.  With the text, the viewer reads “and I cried” and will most likely be brought to a place of sadness.  Not only adding text directly on the photograph, but also titling a photograph can alter one’s reaction or thoughts.
