let's put it this way atmo -

it is certainly possible, and even probable, that any one of us can
make a short run of frames to celebrate something - anything - and
not have it be the ne plus ultra of our experiences and or working
skills. it's just a grouping a frames to mark a place in time and/or a
special occasion. in some circles, it goes against common sense to
price these gems, as it were, at anything less than retail plus 1000
percent. to each his own, and it's no one else's business except the
two folks involved in the transaction. on the other hand, you will never
ever shake the stigma of a low price once you set it. that you go that
route will be part of your timeline forever atmo. ps while there is some
chat about mike d and prices on another thread, my post here is general
in nature and has nothing to do with that.
