Photography as an object of investment

[Galyona]

Dear visitors of the forum, very interesting to "hear" your answers a few questions

1. Can a photograph be compared with artists - namely, to create images and pictures of them, because it makes the artist, painting on canvas scenes (images) out of his imagination?

2. How do you feel about the fact that the picture can be sold 100 times, namely, the circulation of 100/100 ie owner of one and the same photos can be 100 people and each of them pay for their mark, let's say $ 1000?

3. You buy a photo? If yes, why? If No, again, why?

I would be very glad to see your answers.
