| I was just coming over here to post the same link. I love garage sales, but have never gotten this lucky. Very cool. I am so curious how they ended up in that sale. |

| There is a guy in California right now, who had a garage sale 10 years ago, who is probably banging his head against the wall. |

very cool stuff. Anybody seen the History Channel show "American Pickers?"
Picked, Ansel Adams Photos, $45
Valued, $200,000,000
Profit, $199,999,955
Heck, that's only 4.4 million percent profit, or a return on investment of 362% per year, LOL.

Especially considering the buyer bargained him down to $45 from $70. |

Sigh - more boring B&W landscapes - he should of diversified a bit - water drops, girls with headscarves partially covering their faces, cats - that kind of thing.
They also look very grainy and not very sharp - bit too contrasty as well. |

So what's remarkable about this?
They're worth 200 million?
They are Ansel Addams negatives?
Or
Ansel never was great at archiving his work?

I think the answer about that is simple.
We all would love to find something similar. It's fun to hear about someone elses find and the process of discovery. |

| Oh wait - they might not be his. The article also brings up an interesting point - is it an Ansel Adams negative that we really treasure as "his work," or is it his finished product, the perfected print? |

Excellent,
Now there's controversy!

Hehe. Who catches the irony of this quote...
"She grew up in Yosemite. She was an intelligent, well-read woman. I find it hard to believe she would mispell those names," he said. |

Ansel Adams heirs skeptical about lost negatives claim.
BEVERLY HILLS ΓΆ€” A trove of old glass negatives bought at a garage sale for $45 has been authenticated as the lost work of Ansel Adams and worth at least $200 million, an attorney for the owner said today, but the iconic photographer's representatives dismissed the claim as a fraud and said they're worthless.

Kinda soft, I don't like the black and white effect. Try it next time without desaturation.
Also DNMC.
I'd give it a 4. Maybe next time try putting someone in the picture. Nobody likes pictures of mountains. |
