What does copying the typical Marc Adamus image cost if you’re a photo tour taking THUG? About $7000!

So let’s run it down. Pretend you’re Ryan Dyar or Jesse Estes, or another loser whose website is full of vain pretense and sad attempts at “passion” for wilderness or whatever line they’re using these days. How much do you pay to go out on a workshop and copy one of Marc’s “unmistakeable” compositions? Let’s take the seemingly ever popular Owen’s River shot:

-5D Mark II: $2700
-16-35mm version 2: $1450
-Tripod & tripod head: approx $300
-Copy of Photoshop CS3 or CS4: appro $600
-Gas to drive to the Sierras & back in a medium SUV like a Explorer: approx $300
-Cost of 4-5 nights in a hotel: approx $400-500
-Of course, cost of Marc’s Photo Tour: About $700

This doesn’t even include all costs, but if you were one day struck with passion and decided to copy Marc’s Owen River shot, it would cost you approximately $7000. Money you’ll make from “selling” fine-art prints of your precious copy of Marc’s Image, safely stored on your Smugmug or Zenfolio site: it’s safe to say zero.

Hey, we never said they were smart. We just said they were MORONS, IDIOTS, and THUGS!
