Mike, are you saying that just because someone is insane enough to spend 4500 on a very bad snap shot that makes the snap shooter a significant photographer? Maybe his stuff is art, but good art? That is in the eye of the beholder and in my eyes his stuff is beyond trivial. Poorly executed technically, bad composition, poor content. If some are paying those fees for his snaps, not even happy snaps, that just goes to prove there is a sucker born every minute. Just MHO of course. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
