Yup! Looks that way! Personally, I prefer red potatoes. I would never pay a million bucks for a photo of a brown potato no matter how photogenic it was! :lol:

I could easily duplicate this as could just about anyone else, but mine would sell for $1.08 if lucky.

Remember, you've gotta frame it and hang it on your wall!! Actually, yours projects more violence than the one that sold for the big bucks!!

A Pepper (Pepper 30)by Edward Weston sold over 1.2 million. Morale of the story. Photograph your Veggies.

Oftentimes, it's about who you know rather than what your photo is about.

Zackly. This guy regularly charges $100,000 to $500,000 for a portrait session. One of those crazies bought it. :roll:

So incredibly wealthy that a million bucks means little more than pocket change... I wouldn't mind being that kind of sucker.
