A photographer who was tired of chasing down copyright infringers to her most-stolen photo decided instead to sell it as an NFT and then release the photo’s usage rights to the world. That NFT has just sold at auction for a whopping $300,000.
Talk about the ultimate camera flip: it has come to light that some savvy camera collector (or investor) won a rare Leica camera at auction in 2019 for $24,000 before turning around two years later and re-selling it at auction for a staggering $480,000.

The Kodak paper and photochemical business is reportedly being sold to a Chinese company.
