• Photographs are fixed in time
• Borders
• Only 2 dimensional but could become 3 in the future
• During its apex Kodak employed hundreds of people while Instagram had about a dozen people staffed
• All photographs are images, not all images are photographs much like all squares are rectangles not all rectangles are squares
• There were 4.5 million photos put on Flickr every day in 2010
• Lenses create a round image but these are modified to be square/rectangles
• The medium is the message, how and where we get things defines them so photos are very different from drawings or descriptive writing
• All media comes from how we understood previous ones example writing was understood as talking, radio as talking/writing, television as radio with visual etc.
• The majority of the human race now has the ability to create their own photos and images then share them with others
• Definition of Transmedia - stories told of a multiple platform (novel, fan fiction, movie, video games)
• Trusted source: if source was credible from previous output
• connected - heard by people who are most interested with your work, not just a "supplier of photography"
• The internet allows us to share our stories and experiences with others
• Photographers are skilled artist just like a painter or sculptor
• With modern technology photograph is no longer bound to the limitation as we can share, edit, and create new things with people all over the world
• Photography is and has changed the world yet could still do so much more
• Horrible photos of war, death, and famine have generated support ranging from World Wars, to charity, and inspiration to research and find solutions
• Photography is far from dead, I think it is in a Renaissance reshaping itself to fit into the modern world
