We are constantly being reminded that the USA is experiencing difficult economic times. That's not hard to believe.

A mural sized print from the bankrupt Polaroid Corp. collection was sold at a Sotheby's auction for $722,500 two days ago .

It was a large B&W print of Ansel Adams' "Clearing Winter Storm" that he printed it in the late 1960's, or early 1970's.

Sotheby's didn't disclose the name of the winning bidder, but you can bet he/she wasn't a USA citizen.

Did you feel the earth shake? It was Ansel turning over in his grave.
