Location, Location, Location

   A conversation that keeps repeating between myself and several other photographers is why does a location of a photograph matter so much. By that we mean why does location outweigh the photo itself. A good photo is a good photo no matter where it was taken. We started to take notice every time one of us would travel to New York City to photograph and the response to those were much greater than our local photos. Also there always seems to be more interest in the purchasing of those photos. I would bet that if I took one of my Philadelphia photos with no widely known recognizable buildings or landmarks and posted that photo online with locations Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago and New York City, that the New York City would garner the most attention.
