User Stories

As a user, I would like to view different photos that interest me.
As a user, I would like to click on a single photo to expand it and also view the details of the photo.
As a user, I would like to search for different categories of photos.
As a user, I would like to copy a link to the photo to share with my friends.
As a user, I would like to view photos based on the location they were taken.

Behavior Driven Development

The application should display photos.
When a user clicks on a photo, the photo should expand and the details of the photo to be displayed on a modal within the main page.
When a user enters a search term on the search input and submits it, then they should be able to get a result of what they are looking for or if the term does not exist, they should get a message to inform them.
When a user clicks on the copy button, then they should be able to have the image link copied to their machine clipboard.
