Sure, taking pictures of people actually creating something and then selling it for big bucks (remind me of people selling downloads on eBay)... it's the subject that makes the photographer not the opposite, in this precise case without the Stones Tarlé had only the see to photograph. Photographers don't create anything, they report, show, archive. That's the whole point of the profession.Quote

let's not be so greedy, or imagine it's "our right" or "our collective memory". it's someone's work.

I have heard that Tarle's prints are very expensive - about $3000-$3500 per print

From a pure photography standpoint, there are really pretty mediocre photographs –there’s nothing outstanding about the composition, printing, etc…. They are more 'photojournalism' than pure photography.
What makes them so interesting is that it’s the Stones!

Well, I agree with you that he does capture some of the moods. I guess the point I was trying to make (unsuccessfully) was that if it weren't for his subject matter (Keith, et al...) we wouldn't be talking about these photos.

Anyway, my point is we could have had a very expensive limited edition for the riches and a cheap edition on toilet paper for all the non rich, just allowing them to see the pictures.
That's what I think as an (ex)photographer.
