He is probably of the same "genus" as PeterN. As for marketing of this stuff thank fineartamerica.com As far as the 'fine art' classification goes, that is as always in the eye of the beholder. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Only if there has been any sales. Yup! This is just another example of the pretentious clap trap of puting a financial value on something in order to justify it as art. Yup! Seeing something as art is a very individual and personal thing and just because someone else has led you to believe it is art does not mean it is art. Yup! I dare say there are an awful lot of mugs around the world crap hanging on their walls. Especially if it is the nauseatingly over-the-top, and mass produced kitsch of Thomas Kinkade -- Regards, Savageduck |

Barnum’s rival David Hannum I kind of agree, but there are some people who buy photos just for wall decoration such as in an office building. I would not call it art... perhaps decor is the word? |

You have to admit the photo is unique. It could be impossible to exactly duplicate that camera shake. |
