RE: [Leica] price of art prints (was re: kyle's fine art)

I think "inhibiting" is a bit harsh, but I think that the point Tina is
making is one that has been made here before - albiet quite a while ago -
and that is that when folks who don't depend upon their
photography/painting/sculpture/writing/computer programing to make a living
price it well below the market when compared to those who do those things to
make a living, it makes earning a living pretty difficult for the
full-timers: particularly when the seller is someone like Kyle, whose
photographic work is better than that of a goodly percentage of the
full-time "pros" out there.

Tina, are you saying Kyle's pricing of his goth girl image is inhibiting
other photographers' ability to make a living?  A am I reading this right,
or did you mean something else?
