You mean ASCII?
Just ASCIIng.
You mean ASCII?I've got an original ANSI text rendition of the last supper that I'm offering for a mere $10,000. (I bet Chris W needs this one.)
Nope... ANSI. I actually had to look it up, it's been so long since I've thought in those terms. :rolleyes:You mean ASCII?

Well, thanks for ANSIring.Nope... ANSI. I actually had to look it up, it's been so long since I've thought in those terms. :rolleyes:
Ansel Adams or...Uncle Earl from Fresno?

Now we are on to something. Maybe Uncle Earl will be the next Bellocq...maybe he has some more plates hidden in his sofa...
After reading the numerous "news articles" on the internet, by such "news agencies" such as CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN and more, I am convinced that modern day news agencies are simply promulgators of marketing and apply very little investigative reporting. Over-sensationalism for the sake of confusing the masses used to have a color. Yellow!
These "news agencies" are part of the urban myth problem in our modern world. What a dichotomy.. modern and myth. Wow!
There's a way to spin this: Uncle Earl was Ansel's early mentor, right?
Funny that due to Ansel Adams' later fame, after decades of refining his technique, any photograph taken on a plate of any landscape in the American West automatically becomes an Ansel Adams photograph, as if he was the first to have the idea of photographing Yosemite.
I remember a commercial (for what, I don't remember) in which a man unearths a painting at a yard sale with the partial signature "Pic--". The implication is, he's found a Picasso! Once the painting is cleaned, the full signature is exposed, and his wife points out, "it's a Pickleman!" I think we may have a few Picklemans here.
They did say they were Earl-y Adams.There's a way to spin this: Uncle Earl was Ansel's early mentor, right?

If they are really Earl's photographs, then Norsigian is going to have a lot of debt paying off his lawyer, the web hosting bills and all those now-worthless prints he's made.

The expert on "Evidence and Burden Of Proof Analysis", Manny Medrano, described as "an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and experienced trial attorney" and who boasted I HAVE SENT PEOPLE TO PRISON, FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, FOR FAR LESS EVIDENCE THAN I HAVE SEEN IN THIS CASE" should perhaps undergo some investigation himself for possible mistrials.
Sorry but I think you might have missed the statement of Patrick Alt, the large format photographer and member of this forum, so I have taken the liberty of attaching his comments from an earlier post. As I indicated he has no financial interest in this matter.
Hi everyone,
Just thought I would give you all of the story re the Ansel Adams lost negatives. The evidience is so overwhelming as to make your head spin. So in a nutshell here are the facts;
Shot on 6 1/2 X 8 1/2 glass plates with a Korona as confirmed on page 3 of Ansels book Examples. This was one of his primary cameras of the 1920's. By coincidence, I also own the same camera.
Several images have definite fire damage due to his studio fire in 1937.
Virginia Adams handwriting are on the paper sleeves. Confirmed by independent hand writing analysis.
These are definitely in the style of Ansel's work as they evolved over a period of time. To see them as I did you could just feel his presence.
Lastly, one of the plates are an almost exact match to 2 5 X 7 images in The Center for Creative Photography in Tuscon. This is an image of a Jeffries Pine and close examination show the distant snow pack to be identical, meaning these images were taken moments apart. The is undeniable proof.
Lastly, these negs were originally found in LA after the time Ansel was here in LA teaching at Art Center. I believe he brought them down as teaching tools.
All of this evidence has convinced me without a shadow of a doubt that these are indeed lost treasures of Ansels early work that survived his fire. I am so honored to have been chosen to be a part of this team of experts and my knowledge of both Ansel's work and of being a working large format photographer has helped make this what I believe to be an airtight case. Why Matthew Adams and the Foundation continues to discredit this work, especially in light of the fact he has never seen them is a mystery to us all. It has been an incredible experience to hold these images in my hands. They are the real deal.
