Amazed By Ridiculous Accusations

     I was in utter shocked when I read this astonishing article by Reyhan Harmanci. Photography has become some what of a debate by a man named Rick Norsigian. This man had taken a rebellious risk, boldly accused Ansel Adams, a famous photographer, of stealing his film negatives. Of course, chargers were dropped due to the lack of vital evidence. But that hasn't stopped Norsigian's determination of "justice". He stated, "I'm not ever going to quit." Ever since reviewing this article, I've reminisced over several questions - Why would anyone dare to blame a well-known artist like Ansel Adams? Could Mr. Norsigian be accurate on his outrageous complaints? I guess nobody will ever know the honest truth. But it seems that photography isn't as inadequate as some people put in out to be. Maybe, just maybe, it is considered a fine art, but it's a personal opinion to each individual. Would you defend your art if someone tried to snatch your creative masterpiece and claim it to be their own?
