[quote][b]roteague (6/18/2008)[/b][hr]Fascinating story:

"The yellow crates haunted Aditya Arya. A successful advertising photographer whose clients have ranged from India's luxury Oberoi Hotel chain to Russia's Bolshoi Ballet, Arya inherited the crates from a family friend, an old photojournalist named Kulwant Roy, in 1984. And for more than two decades, Arya had hauled the increasingly dusty trunks around a succession of studios, stashing them in out of the way corners and closets. He had a vague sense of what the crates contained - bundles of prints and negatives - and at least once a year his mother would nag him about them. But he was always too busy with his own assignments to spend time pouring over someone else's fadingpictures.

Then, in December, Arya finally opened the crates...."

Fascinating story indeed, Robert. Imagine having such historic images in your possession for all those years without knowing it.

Cheers,
