10 years ago Rick Norsigian bought a case of 65 negatives at a garage sale for $45, thinking he was just getting a case of negatives of nature photos. Apparently these weren't just any old nature photos. After a 6 month examination of the negatives it has been determinted that these negatives are none other than the work of famed photographer Ansel Adams. The negatives were believed to have been destroyed in a fire in 1937.
And guess how much a collection of supposedly destroyed Ansel Adams negatives is worth these days?
200 Million dollars. Million.
Here's one of the recovered negatives. Adams' work is incredible:
I guess I need to be hitting up the garage sales more often.
