True story... when I was 19, in 1977, I walked into the Ansel Adams gallery in Yosemite, saw Moonrise Over Hernandez and thought to myself, "that is going to be worth a fortune some day." the 16x20 was $1,300 for darkroom print #110 or so. I had the money in my pocket from the events of that year but didn't want to stow it in my car overnight. I was planning on just hanging it in my parents home until someday I had one of my own.
Driving into the Gallery the next morning my Fiat broke down and I figured that I needed a new ride instead and didn't get it.
Three or four years later at auction #9 or #10 fetched $70k. I've been a fan of fine art photography ever since!

Sure took a long time for that Kent State photo to appear.
Back in January I was at the Newseum in D.C. The best part is the exhibit on Pulitzer Prize winning photographs, many of which have shown up in this thread. It's an excellent presentation and worth the price of admission.
Here's an icon:
