Yeah congratulations!

Makes me wonder if this is the way, in years to come, that photographers will afford to operate as photographers.

They’ll be sponsored to shoot because the images they produce will be so devalued by “the man” and what he’s done to our industry that there won’t be a viable way to pay the rent unless you have a trust fund or some rich investor ponies up.

Great news that photography can still command such investment but I can’t help feeling it shouldn’t have to be this way.
