Olney:

The Yankees are not expected to make a blockbuster deal before the trade deadline, but they are seeking ways to upgrade their rotation and are taking a serious look at Seattle lefty Jarrod Washburn.

I'm fucking serious

I remember what happened down the stretch in 91, 92, 93, but I have no memories of anything past mid-July in 1994. God bless my brain for blocking out that trauma.

As they say, a good picture's worth $1,000.

Of course these pictures are worth approxamitely $9,850,000. That saying sucks. Much like Washburn.

Uh... Coach?

It’s “a good picture is worth 1,000 WORDS, not $1,000…”

Otherwise, I’d be a pro photographer

and I must have been thinking of that for some reason and thought it was the real saying.

Things are often worth more than their tangible value.

I just paid $75 for about $3 worth of vinyl and $.50 worth of cardboard because it was worth $75 to me.

Hype box set, eh?

That’s got all-time Tacoma anthem ‘My Hometown’ on it, right? Nice.

And an alt. version of ‘Julie Francavilla’ by Flop. I always hoped she heard about that song, and that she liked it.

Young Fresh Fellow's "Dark Corner of the World"

was worth the price of admission alone. The alternate version of “Julie Francavilla” is better than the album one, as far as I’m concerned.

Yup.

That’s an original.

Nope.

They say if you have to ask the price you can’t afford it, but I already understand that so I’m going to. But without having done so, yet, I’d guess that this photo would probably sell for at least the salary of the MLB minimum player:

Only 8 of them were printed. Ever.

Of course, as of right now per wiki, a sale of the “Moonrise, Hernandez” photo original has been the highest of any Ansel print. And that was for less than $1 million, amazingly. I’m fairly certain, though, that while it’s one of Ansel’s more popular images, his 1930s stuff that doesn’t get that much attention is right up there in value.

And more photo-geekery...

...just because I can.

Anyone who says that they don’t photoshop their photos and gives the reason that “Ansel never would’ve used Photoshop!” doesn’t know the story behind this photo:

I believe it’s in one of his books, though.

I could be wrong, but I think the story behind that photo is in this book.

Spoiler alert!

Hahaha…

Anyway—I believe this is the shot of the foothills where it’s a tradition of either high schoolers or college kids to go and scratch graffiti into the mountain. He took the photo anyway, and had his retouchers edit out the words that were written on that mountain. I can’t remember if he touched up the negative, too, or what. It’s something like that, though…

Here’s a larger copy of this shot, but I’m not sure it’s a good enough scan to see if you can tell where the touch-up work is. But in one copy of this that I’ve seen, you can definitely tell…

by kevin_ess on Jul 22, 2008 2:39 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hmmm.

A google search for “Moonrise, Hernandez” doesn’t really do it justice.

There’s a reason why Ansel wanted total, absolute control over even cheap duplications of his works…

I bought his copy of Jeffrey’s bush:

It wasn’t printed by Ansel, so it’s only sorta expensive, but it is an actual photograph from his actual negative. There are several more in that series that I hope to buy soon…
