New York Times Blog: November 10, 2010

In Stephanie Clifford's, "Big Stores Slim Down in a Bid to Fatten Profits" talked about how growing numbers of retailers are starting to think small, "chopping off big chunks of stores or moving to more efficient spaces." This change is said to be brought on by two recent trends: chains looking for new ways to cut costs in this economy, and customers demanding less "sprawling shopping experiences."

The next article caught my attention because of my interest in photography. This one entitled, "Ansel Adams or Not? More Twists" by Reyhan Harmanci was about Rick Norsigian, a California man who claimed he bought some lost Ansel Adams negatives at a garage sale for $45. This caught worldwide attention including the attention of an old woman who claimed she had the same pictures hanging in her bathroom and they were taken by her uncle, Earl Brooks, a little known photographer.
