FIELD NOTES:  World Photo Day was August 19 and Instagram was one way to support Korske Ara's 2009 idea to “unite local and global communities in a worldwide celebration of photography.”
The date behind World Photo Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Joseph Nicèphore Nièpce and Louis Daguerre in 1837. On January 9, 1839, The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government purchased the patent and announced the invention as a gift "Free to the World".
It's already known how hashtagging allows a user to join the next big internet thing,or be specific which community to connect with. A quick look at a few months of  #lasvegasstreetart on Instagram shows a growing exchange between locals showing off city walls and out-of-towners looking for them, often by following the locals. Here are a few for a World Photo Day 2015.

I'm in love with these #lasvegasstreetart pictures because the art work in #downtownlasvegas is amazing!Here's #warriorIII with this awesome wall, which is actually about half a block long! It's even more stunning in real life! □: the uber-talented @heatherraemurphy #VGYF #publicdisplayofyoga #thedowntownproject #dtlv #lasvegas #standingpose #ilovebitsy #wearyourmat #yogapaws

When you pull into a strip club parking lot, in downtown Las Vegas, with your kids... just because you like a piece of graffiti... Yup, that's when you know you're a great mother. #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegas #lasvegasstreetart #streetart #badmother #stripclubsandtoddlers #nobueno
