Phonar Lecture Notes

Phonar is about establishing habits because habits define us and having good habits prevents us from being slaves. 

Discusses the difference between a photograph and an image. 
     -A photograph is bound by experience. An image is bound by evidence. 
     -We no longer tell the pictures of our stories, the pictures tell the story of us. 

"If you want to change the world, describe it differently."
 Ex: Canterbury Tales, the written language didn't match the spoken language because they were trying to portray a higher class. 
  Chaucer becomes known as the writer       of the English language

Talks about how Harvard students make a huge difference by collaborating. 

"New media is in terms of the older media."
     -Our definition and understanding of a picture has changed immensely over time.
