Re: What ... how much!
Photos with regards to paintings are Art, however anyone can walk up to that location and snap the same shot, however, a painting is pretty much a one off, forby replicas.
I'd never dream of selling an image for that much, and his images are not really anything that I couldn't pop on a canvas from 500px for $75. My personal view is that 10 years ago he'd be selling them like hotcakes, but not these days with everyone and their granny a photographer/graphic designer.
He's using a Smugmug pro account to sell the stuff, so he needs to get money back somehow lol
I guess its all about a person perception of art = cost over desire to own that work.
My boss asked me to photograph his view from his window, because he's moving house. I said it would be £85 and he said "wow that's great I'd have paid £250" DOOOOHHH!!
