He's positive these are famous negatives
On the left is a photograph by legendary photographer Ansel Adams, and on the right is a print from one of Rick Norsigian's glass plate negatives, all of which he bought for $45 at a garage sale in Fresno.

Jury is still out on this one... the two trees in the lede photo are dissimilar - 3 visible trunks in Adam's shot, 2 in Norsigian's - as are the shadows they cast on the respective ground. The aspect of the mountains in the background with relation to the foreground is quite different as well, as if a similar, but different focal length lens was used.
Having snapped a few big-format pix in my time, I can testify it's not easy to make different views of the same scene 'a few minutes apart': moving a tripod-mounted big-format camera even a few feet screws up everything - horizon, focus, tilt and shift. Getting those adjustment all in whack is time consuming - even (especially) for a photog on the level of Ansel Adams. |

Daily Horoscope for January 6
Sagittarius
There's work to be done. Even though it might seem overwhelming, there's a lot to be gained from doing Level One, or routine physical tasks. When your body is preoccupied and very little mental input is required, your mind is free to roam. Do one thing at a time, and you're assured of complete success in all your projects and undertakings today. Your health is not as good as it could be, at the moment. Consider a cleansing diet.
