Abstract

Internet, Heidi A. Campbell says, “is… a hybrid technology combining different text, images, and sound into a new media forum that serves as a digital playground of new opportunities for sharing and experimentation.”1 Reading this statement, I find courage to write this paper that is essentially another sharing of the experiences of, and the reflections on, new media behavior. I say “another sharing” as I am sure that many people have done this before. Probably, my particular contribution is the different facet I bring, that is, the spiritual praxis of photography.
