No it's how many goats do you have to sacrifice to keep that from
happening...

Not being much of a student of the history of photography, I had to
look up Richard Prince and was gratified to read this:
After living in New York City for 25 years, Prince moved to upstate
New York. His mini-museum, Second House, purchased by the Guggenheim
Museum <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum>,
was struck by lightning and burned down shortly after the museum
purchased the House (which Richard had created for himself), having
only stood for six years, from 2001 to 2007.

Nope, just assholes like Richard Prince who think that anything they
find is fair game to use as their art.

That is a damn shame. What struck me was this line from the piece:
"Ong has suggested he merely ''re-created'' the images and worked them
into his style, following a long and common practice in the art
world of
using one image as the basis for another."
Really? Do lots of fine art photographers use stock images as the
inspiration for their "re-creations"?

Such as shame. I like Ben's work. But being furtive about it
doesn't do
anyone any favours.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
