“You Are Here” is a running (5) five part series discussing a variety of contemporary philosophic questions about photography. If you missed the first entry you’re in luck. See here: You Are Here (Part 1/5): The Ultimate Compliment Enjoy Part 2… Previously The Ultimate Compliment focused on what is art, but a more dynamic discussion is who do you think is an artist and who has influenced your
