A famous photographer, Andreas Gurski, created an image, "99 Cent
II Diptychon", that gained fame outside of the art world because of what
it sold for at auction – over 3 million dollars. Mr. Gurski is still alive. I have often dreamed of selling an #image for
1 million dollars. And I have dreamed of
winning the lottery too. I have dreamed
about #Halle Berry being my girlfriend.
I have dreamed about a lot of stuff – but that’s cool, dreams. But I pretty much keep myself planted in
reality – go to work, be a father, keep working on my photography. I work on my photography in an effort to make
it better. But sometimes I just
photograph things just to see what it looks like. This is not Andreas Gursky’s "99 Cent II
Diptychon". It’s just me in the
store with my phone looking at colors. I
did no post production on these, no Melisandre, the red woman, magic to make
them look like this or that – just taking a picture for the sake of seeing what
it looks like. It’s a snapshot, nothing
more. But, truth be told, I wouldn’t
mind it if this “piece” commanded a million dollars at one of those auspicious
art events and Halle Berry was there on my arm full of admiration at what I have
created. Now that’s a dream.
