I think I may take a few pictures of the potatoes I have in the pantry. They all have started growing and wrinkled so I bet I could get twice as much for pictures of them!

Another example from the art world where WHO is more important than the actual quality of the so-called work of art. "What is that picture?" "It's an original ABOSCH!" "Oh. I knew it was something extraordinary."

Someone looking for a spud to photograph? I think I have one that escaped the pan for too long and has sprouted appendages making it far more interesting visually than the one in the link.

I have never understood fine art photography... much like a lot of art.. it seems to be random crap photographed mixed with people putting on airs.

At least the lighting is dramatic in this photograph.. low key produce photography.. could start a new wave.

Plus I gotta get all those veggie photos I have been taking out there for the rich art buyers to see.

You are right. There is no rhyme or reason to fine art!
