This week, we discuss authenticity – is the quest for authenticity real or just a hoax perpetuated by hipsters and organic farmers? Also, thoughts on Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art – realizing what you are and getting down to business. Could this book be a good candidate for a group discussion? Plus, Lee Friedlander is our Photographer of the Week.
