Selling the Old to Make Possible the New (Leica Replacement Strategy)

Funding strategy devised to raise money to replace my stolen camera. Via flickr.com I offered 100 signed, rubber-stamped single edition 6"x4" photographs from 2009 for sale for 35 Euros each. Before sending off each sold photograph I drew it; leaving the drawing the only hard-copy of the image in my archive. After three months, however, amazingly my camera was returned to me via the Kreuzberg Police. I am however continuing the sell the remaining pictures - it will now fund the George Richmond Portrait Project.
