2) John Paul Caponigro has written a brief article on "The most expensive photographs ever sold". Andreas Gursky, Edward Steichen and Richard Prince top the list at over £8.5 million between them. Read his post here.

3) What is Fine Art Photography? Brian Auer over at Epic Edits has been polling his readers for some input on this topic and has gleamed some informative and educated results. Check them out here.

5) Lee Torrens at the Microstock Diaries who regularly details his work with stock agencies has written a post about a new piece of software called picNiche to assist photographers in an essential part of the stock workflow - keywording.
