[Alt-photo] Re: sticker shock

Yes, Marek and Ravene at gmail.com,
I am going to tell my children do not not NOT hold a garage sale and sell all my gum prints for a buck each after I die but keep them all. There's their nest egg.
Wish I would have gotten the nerve to ask if I could be one of the artists in their stable but I didn't want to see him snicker.
I was wondering if Steichen had a camera with film that big, or if he had made a print of the scene and then a neg of the print and used that  as his negative, because it was definitely well over 8x10. 
I think this was the name of the gallery:

First funny thing, was at one gallery there were a set of c-prints by some photographer and they were described as if they were some ancient process. Too funny, since it hasn't been that many years (2007) since we got rid of the color processor at school, but now have Jobos that the students are using to develop their own film and prints.
>>> Next was this great gallery, I think the oldest in Carmel, that had a lot of big names...and some gum prints! There was a largish monochrome gum of a landscape scene by Steichen, very dark, moody. It looked like 11x14 size. It was $875,000. If I bought it that day, the gallery would discount it $75,000. When I talked about it with the gallerist he was surprised I knew what a gum print was :)
>>> Wow.
