Because it is next to impossible to photographic online linking and social media connections, I created this picture of hands joining together in teamwork as a visual placeholder, or perhaps more accurately, a visual metaphor for online connections.
This photo is a great example of an online tribe as five hands join over a social networking collection of portraits. This image represents like-minded individuals finding and connecting over the Internet and joining forces either for entertainment or for a common good or cause. Such groups are often referred to in modern vernacular as "tribes". Tribes are particularly important for artists and photographers who are trying to build an audience to monetize their artistic and photographic efforts.
Internet communities are symbolized by this photo of hands clasping together against a background mosaic of over a hundred, individual, model-released portraits. In such cases the Internet has served as the connecting force that has brought disparate people together into one powerful community. These communities, or fan bases, share communications and other efforts around a central theme, value, or even product or service and create a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
