apartment would cost $165,280, and there you are having the work of the 
de rigeur photographic artist of the recent past, the moment, and the 
foreseeable future inhabiting a section of your personal space. What is 
not to like?

happens to be the editor of the CNN Style section and push them to do a 
piece on the bould Gregory. The world will keep spinning upwards then.
