What was it? It was a signed (!) photograph in a New York coffee shop in Greenwich Village. Beautiful, stunning. When was it? I’d guess it was 1956. Who made the photograph? Ansel Adams. What picture? Moon over Hernandez. The price? 350 dollars.

“Three hundred and fifty dollars? “

I exclaimed, loudly. Yep. A couple of decades later unsigned ones were sold for 40 thousand bucks.
