OAKLAND, Calif. -- A Bay Area woman may have solid proof to support the assertions of the Ansel Adams estate that negatives a Fresno man bought at a yard sale were not taken by the famed nature photographer as he claims. She thinks they may have been taken by her Uncle Earl.

So I guess the difference between Ansel Adams and Uncle Earl is that Adams was better at marketing himself....who ever heard of Earl?

I thought that one of the ways they authenticated the negatives as Adams' work was that there were notes on the envelopes that were identified as being his wife's.

I will bet its going to end up in the courts and cost everyone involved a fortune!
