So any Ansel Adams foundation or heir does not own them? Interesting

They may be considered stock photos. I found a childhood, black and white photo, of myself in ads in major publications about ten years ago. Needless to say, it freaked me out. Mostly because I have questions about my true identity.

After many calls to the people who were using the photo in those ads, I discovered that it was a stock photo found in a box of photos sold at a sale or auction in Las Vegas Nevada, and they were considered in the public domain.

It's kind of nice to have the photo, even if it is in a magazine, as I have only two or three snapshots from my childhood.

Here’s my stab at it .... Since he owns the negatives, he owns the copyright. Someone with more legal knowledge may be able to enlighten us.

Up until now, the AA Foundation has been denying that they are authentic.
