My calculator does not even go that high. Also the gallery people are professionals and all they think of all day is how to sell photographs and make money for their photographers and themselves in a professional way. However I should say that if I were to make it big and a gallery told me they wanted to sell my work and I could quit my day job and they wanted to do a limited edition thing with key pieces of my work I'd tell them to stuff it. I'd rather dumpster dive. I'd rather be represented just as Ted seems to be here.
