I'm, again, reminded of the slot canyon obscenity posted with the 6.5m trick shot; Eternal Beauty. How dishonest and insulting.

Might as well argue about whether something is *good* art or not. I like the Peter Lik photo in question. I can see that it would make a really beautiful big print. But it's not unique, and it's not outstanding above all others. There are many images quite as good in the genera. Just go to flickr & search "slot canyons". IF I were obscenely wealthy - even "using $1000 bills for toilet paper" wealthy - I wouldn't pay that much for it. On 12/17/2014 7:25 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: > I missed this post the other day.
