Hi Raimo, I'm by trade a Graphic Designer, ads of 10 years ago still interest me, maybe none of them will ever reach "moonrise" which since 1941 has earned $500 000 in fine print form and has since then gone on to earn an estimated $25 million in resale. How much did Nike sell last year? I have a problem with people trying to limit art to just some form that is created by hand eg. a painting or sculpture. When does a photograph loose its artistic value -when its content is not to your liking. Please enlighten me...
