I have one too! The worrisome bit for me is that I'm asking 2.5 million for mine with commercial licensing starting at a cool mil on Pond5. This race to the bottom is really starting to aggravate me.

I don't have potatoes on black, but I have a very nice eggplant on black.
Do you think there is similar a market for eggplants or only potatoes are in demand?

A few years ago, someone sold a piece of gum that Britney Spears chewed for $14,000. If I spat out a piece of gum, I'd probably get disgusted looks.

As an Irish person, I just wish it was anything but a potato.  ;D

If only he'd done a Tomato it would have been $2m. While his portraits do look nice the person paying $1m for that was no doubt a prize Turnip

People with too much money who want to own a million dollar photo. Doesn't matter that it's worth $24.95 top dollar. They can brag they paid 1 million for it. Total Turnip.
