Subject: [Leica] A bias when collecting photographs

I?ve purchased fine art photographs from galleries over the years from 
photographers that have excited me.  Usually they are from photographers 
that I read about during my college years.   I?d love to have a silver 
halide print from Henri Cartier-Bresson or Eugene Smith but at $30,000 USD, 
they are out of my league and only a dream.

Even though there are really nice looking fine art b&w prints from ink jet 
pigments, I somehow don?t give them as much respect as a silver print when 
purchasing as a fine art print for my walls.  

Does anyone else have this bias?

Be well,
Richard
