I’m sure the writer, should he strike it rich (doubtful, quite frankly, with publishing as it is right now) will give back, or sell to another artist at a low price.
People who are the beneficiaries of generosity are often generous in return. That’s what people don’t get…
Yes great pic. God I love B&W photography. It’s like a blast of fresh air to see B&W again. The world is a brutal cacophany of color these days. In print, on the web, on the street, in fashion. Yuck.

The What’s ESL classes are progressing.
