phonar notes

what makes a photographer?
- students say passion, phone, camera, etc
- habits, how to solve problems
- what problem is this solving?
what is a photograph?
- fixed in time, color/monochrome, bound by frame
kodak invented the first digital camera
- difference between photograph and image
- photography is dead has more results than photography is alive
- what makes a photographer? everyone has access to making images
- cell phones and cheap cameras make this available to everyone, dead but not dead
100 billion photographs on facebook
300 million every day
"we travel looking in a review mirror"
- look at past using old terms to talk about new things
- i.e desktop for windows

if you want to change the world you have to start describing it differently

-non linear story
-authority of single voice brought into question
-august sandler: street photographer, normal people (sounds a lot like Ed Templeton! :) )
-facebook is a large hub of images
