The Kubrick ones were all great and intersting shots, a lot of the Ansel Adams stuff was just sort of boring shots. But even the boring stuff is interesting because it is a window into the past. For instance I'd love to take the time and look up those comics on the newsrack in a couple of the LA shots. Back then they costed a handful of pennies. But today each one of them would be worth hundreds of dollars in mint condition. That line from Indiana Jones is really true, and forgive me for paraphrasing if you bury a trinket in the sand for a thousand years it will become priceless!
