If one's work is good (for the reasons that you list) then it is good. Quality is quality regardless the price tag. Being the ardent Adam Smith Capitalist that I am, I say the fruits of one's labour are WORTH whatever you have the conscience to ask and that someone is willing to pay you for them. But an image's Worth and it's Quality as Art are not the same things and shouldn't be linked. The print of Kyle's that I got for a small donation to the "Holga giveaway" project many months ago is as welcome on my wall as Art as are the obligatory AAdams or Brassai posters that are hanging there which I paid much more for.
