Both the reading passage and lecture address the question of whether some photographic negatives found at a sale were those of a famous photographer named Ansel Adams. While the reading asserts that Adams took the photos, the lecture casts doubt on that probability.
To begin, the reading says that many of the negatives are of subjects that Adams was known to have photographed, such as a distinctive pine tree. The lecturer asserts that the subject matter is not definitive proof. He notes that the tree under question was one of the most famous landmarks in Yosemite Park, and was therefore photographed by thousands of people aside from Adams. The negatives could have been made by any one of these people.
The reading passage also offers as evidence the point that the negatives were in envelopes marked with place names written by hand. The handwriting is similar to that of Adams’s wife Virginia, who was known to have helped Adams with his work. The reading suggests that she helped her husband by labeling the negatives. The lecturer questions this statement because many of the names around Yosemite were misspelled, but Virginia grew up in that area. According to the lecturer, it is unlikely that she would have made such an error.
Lastly, the reading passage says that fire damage to the negatives shows that they came from Adams’s studio, where over a third of the known negatives were damaged in a fire. However, the lecturer points out that the chemicals used in photography at that time were very flammable, so it was not unusual for studios to suffer fires. The event was not isolated to Adams’s studio, so the negatives could have come from one of many places.
For these reasons, the author of the reading believes that the photos were taken by Ansel Adams, but the lecturer is not convinced.
