Video Notes

• what makes a photographer? 
• anyone with a camera
• habits become imposed within our conscience
• a photograph 
• is fixed in time
• ages
• bound by borders
• 2 dimensional
• Kodak had hundreds of thousands of employees at its peak, while instagram had about a dozen
• image vs photograph
• 4.5 million photos uploaded to flickr daily in 2010
• an image is actually round, but its cropped into a rectangular border
• the mode of delivery shaped the mode of perception we get
• we only understand new media in the context of old media
• most people have access to create and publish images
• what makes you different?
• transmedia - stories told of a multiple platform (novel, fan fiction, movie, video games) 
• trusted sources (reputation and is credible)
• connected - heard by people who are most interested with your work, not just a "supplier of photography"
• stories can be told online and share experiences
• artisan - skill
• a photographer is not just limited to crating images, much more than that through connecting your work to the world
• photography has the potential to change the world
• ex) a single photo raised money for a cause in Africa
• photography is no where near "dead"
