"Do you have a mobile phone? You're a photographer"

A professional gets paid for their photography

Alan's view is that a photographer takes photos and the photos show "I exist"

Instagram

photo manipulation to "frame" or "focus" attention use apeture

shutter speed to make photos unobtrusive

Look at the world differently--heightens attention

"With a little bit of thinking you can get so much more"

"change the angle you can get a whole new story"

Photos can make you want to know more--I want to know the story

Photos can capture "the truth"

"Photos can make you want to know more!" "I want to know the story" (behind that photo).

DIY- Do it Yourself Maybe in the future learning will be DIY (Works great if you know what you want to learn--Kari: like when I looked on youtube for making an omplette.)

PROJECT 365 photos on flickr

The Daily Shoot--challenges Total informal learning. Assignment comes on Twitter with hashtag for aggregator. Need to do it do it do it.

I like the metaphor of "tone". Sepia, color, etc. Kari's question: How do you color the perception of what you present to others?

Learning with others matters
Learning by doing matters

Pummel vision.com and publishes it right to youtube (with music)
