Imagine how much he could have made if he had have had the foresight to get Paul Markham's advice first!

Jack Sparrow 11-12-2011 09:16 AM

Did paul buy it?

TheSquealer 11-12-2011 09:17 AM

Well... what do you expect???

It's not like the river was there the very next day and just anyone could walk up and take a photo of it.

If you want to shoot like Paul you can just use photoshop on any pic you like and "Add noise...".

I like Paul but that post is actually really funny :1orglaugh

blackmonsters 11-12-2011 10:17 AM

Yeah that's big bucks, but only one person is getting that money while the others get
absolutely nothing.

In porn almost every shooter gets at least some money.

L-Pink 11-12-2011 10:26 AM

I have high resolution copies available cheap. Hit me up.

I think the value of your content will go up if you cut off an ear.

Don't forget to photoshop in some boner killing cheesy ass props to make sure your images scream "THIS IS A PORN SHOOT, DON'T FANTASIZE THAT THIS IS YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS AN UNDERPAID MODEL USING STUPID PROPS LIKE SOCCER BALLS STREWN AROUND IN AN UNREALISTIC MANNER" as well.

AmeliaG 11-12-2011 11:14 AM

I used to live a few blocks from there. Apparently, I didn't realize the opportunity. It is a very nice image, but yeah.

So the same reason that you're selling your pictures for less than $0.10 per?

Yeah fuck that. I'm happy w a mansion and bitches. Not a 4.3$ picture.

Fob 11-12-2011 12:27 PM

$4.3 Million for water and grass? lol

ilnjscb 11-12-2011 01:20 PM

I read an article about restaurants and how they always keep expensive things on hand for people who "need to pay too much". Classic example. Some people have a pathological need to overspend, and an auction is their crack.

Winner! :thumbsup

porno jew 11-12-2011 01:44 PM

his other pictures are amazing.

PornMD 11-12-2011 02:04 PM

It's a nice picture but god damn. So out of every amazing picture of human beings over time, the record is a pretty boring nature one on an overcast day? It's raining out now - I can go outside and see similar shit right now.

Just about everything that shows up in EarthPorn on Reddit everyday is 100x more interesting than this.

Jon Oso 11-12-2011 05:33 PM

I've taken some pretty stunning photos with the lens cap on that I'm going to frame and sell for the affordable rate of $20,000.

Cherry7 11-13-2011 04:14 AM

He didn't make the silly mistake of working for magazines.

Paul Markham 11-13-2011 04:46 AM

This is a good way to see how value is put on a "work of art"

http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/01/...o-be-unveiled/

http://timenewsfeed.files.wordpress....5&h=300&crop=1

It was sold in auction in 1958 for £45 (in today's money $120) even though it was thought to be by Leonardo Da Vinci's best student. today if auctioned they estimate it would fetch $120 million.

What has changed in the picture? The name of the painter and it's still known to be badly over painted. It's value is perceived. A pile of bricks or half a sheep are to you and me a pile of bricks and half a sheep. To some "art aficionados" they are priceless pieces of work. Even though their real value is in putting up a wall or roasting. Go figure.

'The Mona Lisa Curse' is a superb documentary from Robert Hughes about how big money poisoned the art world; where art became 'valued' not on artistic merit or even because the buyer particularly liked it, but because of its potential commercial/investment value.

Edit: a Youtube version for anyone interested in seeing it (it's English, Spanish subs):
