The exhibition pairs images shot on iPhones with ones from more traditional cameras and raises interesting questions: What makes a photograph art? When is a camera not a camera? And what is the definition of "artist"? Sometimes it's easy.

Other times, it's a little more tricky. Torpedo Factory Art Center 105 N. Union St., Alexandria, VA | 703-838-4565
