It was in my town these were found. Of late, a local family claims their
"uncle so-and-so from LA actually took them," and they were NOT Ansel
Adams
This article offers up THE proof that the photos were taken by Uncle
Earl:
"As telling as the identical photos showing the park entrance
road, said Nichols, were flaws in one of the slightly different
waterfall pictures. The Norsigian negative of the falls and the
almost-identical print belonging to Walton had identical
scratches and white spots, Nichols said Saturday, meaning
they were taken by the same camera, whose internal
imperfections -- possibly, specks of dirt -- registered the
same on each image."

Now the Adams estate is suing the Pictures of People">guy to stop him from claiming the
prints are Adams' work
I have also heard that the 'expert' who authenticated the work as
Adams', works for the company trying to market the photos
Yup. And he's another of the "no name" experts who were carefully
used to establish the claim.
I, frankly, don't even believe the buyer when he says he bought
them at a yard sale and didn't know what they were.
