I was a party a couple years ago when an acquaintance started telling me about his "Peter Lik Print" which he had recently purchased in Las Vegas. He paid a few grand for it, but it was an investment because they are limited aditions and the higher the print number the higher the price. I didn't have the heart to tell him he'd been had. Go to eBay right now and search for "Peter Lik print"; you might be surprised at hoe many people are trying to unload prints at the prices they were told they were worth...only to find out nobody's willing to buy them at said (ridiculous prices).
I'd give my opinion of Mr Lik here, but he has the lawyers to sue me, so I'll remain silent. Like you guys said, his images are OK, some are very pretty, but not worth several thousand a piece, let alone $1 million: http://www.peterlikexposed.com/archives/237 His own comment on this $1 million photo is that it's "the best shot I have taken in my lifetime.” Now take a good look at the photo... Exactly. And that's all I gotta say about that.
