Sometimes photographers amaze us with their art, the ability to uniquely reflect the world around us and get a look at it from a different angle. And sometimes doing something completely disgusting or normal so that it is impossible to understand why the work is recognized as a masterpiece. Some of these photos were shot on 35mm film and some on digital. It just shows that the camera doesn’t matter. Anyway, these photos were sold for millions of dollars.

  1. When I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment
    is added I get four emails with the exact same comment.
    There has to be a way you are able to remove me from that service?
    Cheers!
