Okay, if one is a real collector, and finds an original O, I can certainly understanding paying a lot of money for it for a collection - it does, after all, represent an important moment in the development of modern photography. But a copy? To USE? Hell, why not just lay on a bed of nails and take digital photos of yourself doing it? :-) B. D.
