Don't you get it? This is not fine art, nor is it fine photography. It is Digital Manipulation. And, it is HOT. I say, HOT, HOT, HOT! I sure wish I understood the directions on GIMP or in PhotoShop. I could be RICH. I SAY RICH! As in Green, Green, Green Money rich. Oh, Lord help me!
On the subject of 'fine photography' - I just love that header picture of Cyrus.
ReplyDeleteReally good.
Cheers....B
It's absurd, isn't it? I have to wonder about the person who bought it. What's missing in their life? Apparently, a lot, considering that they believe this will add something to it. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bernard. I took that while Cyrus and I were out by the pool one day this past summer.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I believe the buyer must believe he has made an money investment...or maybe the buyer was his mother.
ReplyDeleteI see my problem is taking too many pictures. I need to take about four. A life. And it's too late to be rare now.
ReplyDeleteYou could still be/get raw Murr. It just wouldn't be the same as when you/we were young. I mean younger. It sounds like it would hurt though.
