This term has become commonplace, but it did not yet exist when we coined it to describe young people's collaborations with photojournalists. They documented daily life with hand-made pinhole cameras and learned to interpret visual records. Researchers elucidated categories of information for a metadata camera, aiming to support citizens in forming journalistic narratives and ad-hoc communities of interest.
