[Leica] Earl's AA Shots.....

[ricc at embarqmail.com (Ric Carter)]

it's interesting that uncle earl made at least some photos which experts 
find virtually indistinguishable from ansel adams'

but, since uncle earl took them rather than ansel, they have almost no value

such is the world of art and art investment BS;^)
