    But you are rich. You have a camera and film. Now go get a babe, set her up, and make some photographs!

    Gandolfi the Tollund man from Denmark! If they find you in 2000 years, they'll think you were buried with (gandolfi) TV sets, and maybe one could make light-tight bellows out of your cured skin...
    But in 2000 years, lots of things can happen!

    Well there's something I really value/treasure in old prints, done by people with or without names. They have something remarkably beautiful about them...paper/chemicals/how things were done/etc. I can definitely understand why one would want something classical like the artist you enjoy that has nicely simple and eloquent portrait work.

    This said, I'm with Ash on this one. I find your images to have an artform that far exceeds 99% of the people out there. I would personally take one of your images because it is an expression of today's artform in a way that is really astonishing. It's abstract without going excessively overboard.

    Do I get a print as well? Ok. I'll leave it to the fortunate Ash on this one, though I'd gladly oblige to accept one of your prints that I know will take the cake with anything I have around here by myself and other photographers that I have had fortunance to receive work from.

    Keep up the fine art and do things as you envision. In the end, a photograph is an admirable treasure when it is a print in the hand that can go into a place that will preserve an protect it for as long as is possible!

    Cheers!
