Lucky bastard! Hmph.


Pardon my french... but damn! This guy has the world at his disposal now.

Ten years ago Rick Norsigian bought a case of glass negatives for $45 from a garage sale. He had never seen glass negatives before but thought, what the hell. Well, they ended up belonging to no other than ANSEL ADAMS! Yes, that Ansel Adams, the famed nature photographer. The $45 bargain purchase is now worth an estimated $200 million!

Think Norsigian would be down to fund a young up and coming, just graduated, photographer's dream?? Eh? Maybe?
