I really like German artist, Andreas Gursky‘s Untitled 1 (Carpet) 1993 C-print 174.5 x 210 cm. I’d include the image here on my blog, but I’m a little worried about copyright this and that.

Andreas Gursky makes some cool photos. Sometimes I wonder if they look cool, because they are so big. I want see his photos inside a Altoid tin. I bet they would still look cool at that size. Then again, I bet most photos would look cool inside an Altoid tin.
He also holds the record for third most expensive photograph sold. A second print of 99 Cent II Diptychon sold for $2.48 million in November 2006 at a New York gallery
