Here is one of my photo's from my Flickr photostream:



Discussion:
When I first took this picture I was thinking about the affordances/constraints of the MATSL only sign (affordances: MATSL students welcome; constraints: all others, keep out! Upon revisiting the picture after I put it on my photostream, I realized that it had multiple layers which provoke further questions. "What is the history of the name Paris Borden?" "What about the world reflected in the window glass?"

The following comment on my MATSL only picture posting is interesting because it is funny, and you have to be a part of the MATSL community of learners who live at Paris Borden to understand that it speaks to the fact that musicians intruded into our space, not physically, but by playing their instruments late at night when we were either studying or sleeping.

The following photo is part of Julie and my group of photos called "Underlying Messages"

The above photo inspired a topic I posted for discussion in Julie and my group (Underlying Messages)

"So we each see our own messages?" So people see different messages in different photos, sometimes serious and sometimes lighthearted. Why do people have different interpretations of the same image? How does viewing another's comments influence one's own interpretation?

We construct our own interpretations based on background knowledge. It's all about the SCHEMA! We see the new image, compare it to what we already know and create our own unique interpretation.Viewing another's comments causes us react to what they say. We might add another comment, laugh, smile, frown, agree or disagree. || I think that Autumn's comment speaks to this picture and people's interpretations of it (slinkies, world peace). Autumn's comments also speak to my MATSL picture comments above. What we already know informs our interpretation, and we revist our own ideas upon viewing others' interpretations.
