I just think it is too bad that, with all the great photographs that have been taken since 1839, the first to sell at auction for more than $1 million is a photograph of another photograph.
The difference bewteen the recorder photographer... and the artist photographer... is that the artist will, by experience and learning... force the camera to paint the imagination...the emotion... the concept and the intent... rather than faithfully and truthfully reproduce an unnatractive and unflattering record.
