JSON Callback not working.

I tried to use the same code as the instructor after my code didn't run. The click doesn't stay marked after I release the button and the images don't show up. Tis is my code. Any advice what I might be doing wrong. 

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function () {
    $("button").removeClass("selected");
    $(this).addClass("selected");
    var flickerAPI = "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?";
    var animal = $(this).text();
    var flickrOptions = {
      tags:animal,
      format: "json"      
    };
    function displayPhotos(data) {
      var photoHTML = '<ul>';
      $.each(data.items, function(i, photo) {
        photoHTML += '<li class="grid-25 tablet-grid-50">';
        photoHTML += '<a href = "' photo.link + '" class="image">';
        photoHTML += '<img src ="' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>';
      });
      photoHTML += '</ul>';
      $('#photos').html(photoHTML);
    }
    $.getJSON(flickerAPI, flickrOptions, displayPhotos);
  }); //end click
}); // end ready

Try the + before photo.link. "' + photo.link+ '"
