Anyone see where that guy got those slides an sold them for like 700 million? I'm too lazy too look up an article to link or verify my facts or search to see if this is a repost. Crazy though.

So hows everyone doin?

I read that this week. But his son is adamant that they are not his work. Amazing discovery if they are legit!

Wasn't there a story about a guy who got some negs at a yard sale for $40 and made a $200 million dollar profit.

Oh found it, here is the link

@ Burrell. Yes. He bought the negs for $45. Supposed they have been authenticated. The story says it took a few years to authenticate.
Supposedly worth $200 Million.
Could it all be a fraud? Sure. Could Ansel's son be looking for a pay day by claiming they are not his father's work? Just as likely. After all, he probably believes the negs belong to him, not the guy who paid for them.
I love a good conspiracy.

I saw his pics on display last December down in Columbia, SC. I can assure you, $700 mil for all his slides is a BARGIN!!! Damn good photos.
