Six Images from Ansel Adams "Lost Negatives"

As I'm sure many of you have already heard, antique glass-plate negatives thought to be taken by the American Photography legend Ansel Adams were found by a Fresno man in a garage sale! You can now buy prints at the Lost Negatives website. There is still a little dispute of their authenticity, but for the most part I am buying the evidence that these were Ansel Adams originals.
