    My God, he has four--count them, four--retail galleries in Las Vegas.

    I'm just jealous.

    You could probably do it with a Nikon D3, the high iso champ.

    PS I always wondered about the name Peter Lick

    It's Lik, but I don't know if it is as in like or lick. But being so high-profile (Weather Channel thing and all), I would think he'd be a little more careful about what verbage he puts out there.

    Yeah, he's a lying cocksucker awright - there ain't no trees at 14K feet unless you bring it up with you - but at least he's making a living at it! You can't argue with that.

    A similar or better image is possible with even an 8x10 camera, or even larger, on a tracking mount. Imagine a bristlecone pine in the foreground with the Milkey Way for the backdrop.

    This is on my list!

    This is why real photography suffers, everyone with a camera thinks they are AA. So, they don't think they should pay for a high quality photograph from a skilled artist. Then someone like this comes along and dupes the pubic into thinking he captured the magic moment. There is a sucker born every minute.

    Does it matter? Lick or Like ?

    Let's just hope what gets purchased in Vegas stays in Vegas. Figures. It's the town
    where people will spend a lot of money catching skanky diseases that are free
    elsewhere.

    Unfortunately he has galleries in most major cities, NYC, Hawaii. All are making enormous profits. I've seen people at his gallery in Nyc and they are blown away by this stuff. According to an aquaintance who works in sales for them his Weather Channel show has spoked his sales even more.

    I saw this now and just became aware of this--and this man---what's the trouble all about? I'm much too busy doing what I want to scoff at idiots buying crap.

    why not complain about people buying mcdonalds burgers when it's not the best of the best beef cooked oh just so....mass market for the masses

    do you REALLY want that kind of mass appeal?

    stop ranting and get back to WORK on your work.
