What would $19.95 buy? Its meaningless. Its just a nod to the internet way of photo commerce in which everything is a dime a dozen. A person who grew up with the galleries before the internet as he did knows that a photographers first show his prints go for a least a couple of hundred bucks. Now its 20 maybe!? We take off a decimal point because of what? Volume?! The internet? Its nonsense and he should have enough sense to not support the internet lowest common denominator of demeaning photography by people who are not ever intending to be serious about it but simply want to justify a hobby involving huge expenditures. These kinds of people certainly ruined stock we'd hate to see them ruin the serious gallery photo art market it may happen with people like this who should know better seemingly supporting them. 20 dollars a print is what you pay for a wedding blowup from a schlock wedding photographer. Not anything from somebody resembling an artist aspiring or otherwise. On 1/27/13 6:18 AM, "Richard Man" <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: > I like Michael Johnston / Brooks Jensen's model.
