Re: [Digital BW] what do you think?

What could be more illustrative in this regard than the inflated value placed on printed cardboard, aka baseball cards? Collectors are crazy people.

 I think it’s truly acceptable to buy as an investment.


I certainly would not deny anyone the right to do that. But for that to be the primary motivation…!

That’s what leads to people like the topic of this thread, and swindlers of all stripes. I’ve had people spill the beans right in front of me, in all innocence, admitting they were buying my work as an investment, thinking I might agree with them. It is disheartening to realize that someone buying your work cannot see what is right in front of them and could just as easily be buying pork futures.

Of course, the ideal revenge would be to suggest to them that the best investment would be one of Lik’s photographs.   ;-)
