Let’s talk about NFTs
What is a non-fungible token?
NFTs are "one-of-a-kind" assets in the digital world that can be bought and sold like any other piece of property, but which have no tangible form of their own. The digital tokens can be thought of as certificates of ownership for virtual or physical assets.
How do NFTs work?
With NFTs, artwork can be "tokenised" to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. As with crypto-currency, a record of who owns what is stored on a shared ledger known as the blockchain. The records cannot be forged because the ledger is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. NFTs can also contain smart contracts that may give the artist, for example, a cut of any future sale of the token.

It’s compatible with the way that he views the world and how he responds to it through the camera. Marcus is a perfectionist at heart which is fundamental to his photography; both in the observation of light and form, as well as composition.
