When we like a photo, we log photo's link and use its id as parameter to send request. But what I don't understand here is that how we can get specific photo's id and link by simply attaching a tap gesture on it. There is no "didSelect..." delegate method implemented, and we don't send any parameter in gesture's selector. How do we make certain the link and the parameter is the one I tapped??

Treehouse Guest TeacherWe know which photo was double tapped since we add the gesture recognizer to the collection view cell. The cell already has a photo, so when there is a double tap in the cell, we know it's the photo that belongs to that cell.
Gesture recognizers use target-action instead of a didSelect delegate. That's why the like method gets called in the cell when you double tap.
