This just in - nude photo of Madonna taken in 1979 fetches $37,000 at Christies Auction. OK, now for free, you can view this photo online at Christie's website. You can even zoom in if you want, take screen shots of different portions of the zoomed photo, stitch them together in Photoshop, and wind up with a reasonable reproduction of something someone paid $37,000 for. Sound like a good deal? This is the internet age we are living in now. The internet both cheapens and makes naked photos more desirable to own. This is how the market works. Images get popularized throug internet exposure, and a collector base gets established. Then the rarer pics among them become highly sought after, and worth big money. Think about it. I'd love to think pics I took at Renn Fayre might be worth a lot to someone someday if I withhold them from the net. But anyway, now I wasn't sure if it was Ok for me to post the Madonna photo. After all, it was from the official auction website. And it does show her private parts, or at least her private hairy areas behind which lie those parts. But then I found out that I already had the pic in question obtained from a different source. So here it is - for free, a pic someone shelled out 37,000 dollars for to obtain the original. I'll take the repro any day, thank you...
