"I have sent people to prison for the rest of their lives for far
less evidence than I have seen in this case," said evidence and
burden of proof expert Manny Medrano, who was hired by Norsigian
to help authenticate the plates. "In my view, those photographs
were done by Ansel Adams."

What do you want to bet that if they are indeed genuine, the Ansel
Adams heirs will sue to get them back as stolen property?

Gary, in that clip his grandson says they're not genuine. The
handwriting is not his grandmother's and the spelling mistakes don't
fit with her spending lots of time at Yosemite. I must be missing
something. How will they be confirmed as genuine? It IS fascinating
stuff!

The whole thing stinks of jealousy. The Adams clan don't like the fact
that this "stranger" has become very rich on the back of their famous
relative.
