I have to say this is just ridiculous - $200 million?!! Are there 200 million people who would pay $1 apiece to see these? Are there 20 million who would pay $10 apiece to see these? Are there 2 million who would pay $100 apiece to see these? Are there 200,000 who would pay $1,000 apiece to see these? ... There aren't 500,000 photographers worldwide who would pay $20 apiece to see these. How many Saint Ansel books are sold worldwide each year? Something is out of kilter in this world. I like Ansel Adams photos, but he is an old, dead white guy. We don't need to worship at his shrine. Regards, Bob S.
