Australian landscape photographer Peter Lik sold a print today for $1million. The print was sold to an art collector who wished to remain anonymous. The collector will be the owner of the sole printed copy of Peter's photo “One” which was shot in New Hampshire.{C}
I will never forget this morning for the rest of my life. It was calm, and the scent of the fall forest filled my lungs. The mist cleared, and a magical reflection in the river briefly appeared. White birch trees, black trunks, a kaleidoscope of foliage combining to reveal an illusion of three dimensions. I pressed the shutter – once – and then the scene vanished with the morning breeze, never to be seen again.
Peter's Wikipedia page makes for interesting reading. Perhaps the most astonishing fact is that it lists his print sales as totaling approximately $150Million. Simply amazing. It also states that Peter is about to star in a reality TV series……. and I managed to find a teaser for the show.
