She's a bitch.

Truth is, it is easier for galleries to sell big mark-up sculptures and 
paintings than photographs. Photos still elicit a thought "I can do that!" 
unless looking at a master's work. By masters, I mean those willing and able to 
travel to where masterful photos can be taken. Frequently off the beaten path. 
They know their equipment so well, the final product can hold even duffers like 
me in respect, if not awe.
