Ansel Adams Update

Ansel Adams Garage Sale Mystery Apparently Solved: "The mystery of the Ansel Adams garage sale negatives keeps taking on new twists, but the latest twist might have solved it once and for all.

KTVU in Oakland is reporting that a Bay Area woman named Mariam l. Walton has come forward with apparently solid proof that the photographs were not taken by Ansel Adams but her Uncle Earl. She was watching KTVU report on the story Tuesday when she suddenly saw a photograph of the Jeffrey Pine on Sentinal Dome and recognized it as a print her uncle Earl Brooks made back in 1923."

And the guy had articles that were written stating he had a solid case, that the "negatives were the real thing" and he had hoped to profit from big, big bucks here.

Well.
