However:
- Approximately $500 per shot
- I don't have a clue what chemicals are being dumped on the ground, but considering the masks they are wearing, it's probably not pure water.
I'd sure love to see one of these prints in a gallery. Apparently there was a brief show in Denver last January.
A little concerned about the disposal of possible hazardous waste, however. Wouldn't want to see a creative talent run afoul of the law and get into trouble.
