Might it be an extra eye...
Yes, she does have two... But they've both have had work done on them! My eye is all natural...

NEW YORK (AP) -- A photograph of a pond taken by Edward Steichen sold for more than $2.9 million, easily setting a world record for the highest-priced photograph ever auctioned, Sotheby's said.
"The Pond-Moonlight," taken on Long Island in 1904, sold on Tuesday for $2,928,000, including the buyer's premium, Sotheby's spokesman Matthew Weigman said. The buyer's identity was not immediately disclosed.
The photograph shows a pond in a wooded area with light coming through the trees and reflected in the water. Pre-sale estimates priced the photo, which is slightly bigger than 16 inches by 19 inches, at up to $1 million. The only other two prints are in museum collections.

Stephen Perloff, the editor of The Photograph Collector, a newsletter about the photography art market, said before the Steichen auction that it would be a "moment of history."

That's a better picture than this guy's 3 millions one.
"A few of Steichens works:"
Point and click ain't "work."
What is this world coming to?
"rather have this than a Warhol"
Look, I can take a nice pic of a tomato-soup can, shade it in three different colors - You can have it for 50$...?
IMO his best photo is "The Flatiron Building: Evening." I just love it. It shows a New York turn-of-the-century "cabbie" wearing a top hat and overcoat driving a horse-drawn open-air carriage on a rainy street lit by gas lamps on a winter's evening in 1905. Fantastic. The thumbnail above doesn't do it justice.
If he shot that image, it isn't public domain, even if he shot it in a public park.
Yeah, but you gotta pay me half for takin' a picture of my house.
in 1958 she organized a national conference that launched the movement to legalize abortion,
Try right click...lol
I thought Margaret Sanger founded the organization that became Planned Parenthood which goes back way before the 1950s.
The "movement" went on beyond just one person.
I read the bio you posted (knew nothing of her beforehand) and see that she was his daughter (does Henry Fonda have to answer for Jane? And does your boycott extend to his films?). I know little about him (I think he tried to have a painterly approach to photography) and nothing about her.
I am against abortion and will not defend her push for it. She also pushed for birth control (beyond abortion as birth control). AND she focused on sex within marriage. AND she believed in curing homosexuals.
She may have been used by the Sex Positive agenda to further their goals of getting everone sexually active at every age and with no moral judgements regardless of age, sex, relation, number, marital status, or species of partner but she doesn't appear to have subscribed to these two core positions.
Gee, I just snagged it for nuttin' ...
I think I see Nessie.
I think the photo auctioned in this article surpasses any of these paintings:
Basquiat is a master in comparison.
A master at what I can't quite tell.
