At a sale at a private home in California several years ago, a man purchased a box of photographic negatives stored in envelopes
The negatives that were bought at a house sell in California is believed to be taken by a famous photographer of 1920s by the name of Ansel Adams. Eventhough, the passage brings three main reasons to support this claim, the professor opposses these claims by deeming them unconvincing.
First, the passage draws similiarities between the negatives in the envelope and the photographs taken by Ansel Adams. The negatives in these envelopes show a certain type of tree which are common in the works of Adams. The professor, though, rejects this claim by saying that the pine trees in negatives are among the most famous sites in Yosemite park where hundereds of thousands of people took photographs. This argument would hold water if the pine trees were from a random place.
Second, the handwritings on the negatives resemble the handwriting of Virginia Adams who was Ansel Adam's wife and it is known that she used to assist her husband in his craft. The text presents this idea as another reason that the negatives belonged to Mr. Adam. The professor opposes this idea, as well by suggesting that these handwritings have spelling errors which are unlikely since Ansel's wife grew up in the places where the negatives were taken. Due to the fact that she grew up in those areas, the possibility of her incorrectly spelling those places' names are highly unlikely.
Third, there are traces of fire incident in the photographs and since there was such an incident in the Adam's workshop is another reason that these belonged to Adam. According to the lecturer, fires were a usuall incident in that period because most of photographers used similiar technologies that resulted in fires. According to him this reason cannot be used to attribute the works to Adam, as well.
