This March 14, 2014 photo shows Karen Hellman, Assistant Curator Department of Photographs examining a photo exhibit entitled, "In Focus: Ansel Adams" at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Toward the end of his life, photographer Ansel Adams pored over thousands of negatives he'd carefully kept since his teens and set aside 70 that he considered his best works of art. He offered to sell sets of 25 _ with strings attached: Adams would select 10 and let buyers choose the other 15; the images printed by Adams himself could never be resold, only left to a museum. The few dozen who made the cut included the late Leonard and Marjorie Vernon, whose collection was given to the J. Paul Getty Museum and is the centerpiece of "In Focus: Ansel Adams."
