A 64 year old man in California bought a box of negatives for $43.00 ten years ago. They seem to be Ansel Adams original negatives worth 2 million. Not bad ROI (return on investment) even Bernie madoff couldn't get you such numbers...I like ansel adams but I am a better photographer. The reason I am better is that I am still alive and he has passed on...Once I die he will be a better photographer. A living artist (even a crappy one) is better than a dead artist because dead people dont paint. I am a sucker, If I sold those negatves for two million I would have to give the poor slob who sold them to me money (if he was a nice person) if he was a jerk he would get nothing..it pays to be nice.
