The $5 sale gives the impression that >photography is a cheap commodity. Several years ago, I worked with a guy who decorated his office space with a couple Ansel Adams posters. He did not pay more than $15 apiece for them. I am not convinced that having affordable posters cheapens the original. I am looking forward to getting Ted's book. Divide the price by the number of images inside, and does that cheapen his work? I'm not sure exactly how royalties work for posters and books, but I suspect he's not getting much more per book than the Getty photographers are getting per poster. Having fewer, higher priced items may mean less money for the photographers and fewer people who get a chance to appreciate their work. -- Eric http://canid.com/
