I know I'm the resident trouble-maker and curmudgeon asshole, but I have a 
question:

Why would you want to do that?

To me, a numbered, limited edition of anything is just another way of the 
person who made it saying, "Hey, I'm going to be famous someday, so if you buy 
this now, it'll not only appreciate in value, but you'll be able to show it off 
to all your friends and aquaintances, who will be envious and can't help but 
admire you even more for being so clever and astute as to buy one, or more, of 
these things that I, a soon-to-be famous artist, have made in a limited supply."

WWAD?

Anyway, Bill, glad you had a safe and enjoyable trip and that, apparently, you 
got some wonderful photographs, which you could just sell as many unnumbered 
and unpretentious copies of as the market will bear.

Walt, running and hiding (again)
