some people get too carried away.. i don't know if anyone would buy it.. i mean the kalidoscope @ 160 dollars or so makes sense since it's a precious collectors item, but a photograph, i don't know.

cheers anyway

Does it strike anyone else as kind of odd that BoC would exhibit a portrait shot at a photography exhibition? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it feels like the last thing I'd want to submit for a photo exhibition would be a shot of myself.

The band didn't exhibit these prints. They were exhibited by the photographer as part of a show of his own work back in 2002.

Some of the other pictures that seller has up for auction are real nice. The Clark one, the other BoC pic..

So PIC took all of those? Signature looks the same..

I emailed the seller, seems to check out.

Was it someone here who bought the other photo?
