anyone here ever buy art?

[MikeWaters]

I'm considering making my first art purchase. Okay, now that I think about it, that's not entirely true. I bought a print of the SLC temple that is art.

But in this specific case, I'm talking about a limited edition photo of a professional photographer. Not as an investment, but just because I like it and I can.

However, I am cheap. Very cheap. And that's what causes the conflict. Not to mention that there are competing goods. I could donate the money to fast offerings for example. Pay the bills for fellow members of the church.

But I believe supporting artists is important. I wouldn't like a world without artists. If I've spent some fraction of a percent of my life earnings on art pieces I can own, perhaps I can bump that up a little.
