This just in...

Vincent Laforet is a rock star of a photographer based out of New York City. He won the Pulitzer prize before he turned 30 and changed the business model of the New York Times in regards to how it contracts shooters.

He's also kind of a big deal in the lecture circuit and in the photographic community in general. PhotoShelter just released a widget to help photographers promote themselves. It basically embeds a gallery into whatever you want with the option to buy the prints you see. Really neat stuff if you're trying to make some money off of your work.

In an effort to promote this neat idea and help up and coming photographers Laforet has created a gallery of his work and the work of some other great photographers. In the next 30 days all of the money that the sales of these prints generate will go towards a scholarship fund. You can read the extensive specifics on Laforet's blog.

Anyway the first shot is an incredible deal, $75 for a signed 16x20 print. Something like this might normally go for $1,625. So if your looking for something fancy for your wall or business or whatever this could be it.

Look click buy or not either way these pictures sure are pretty...
