He is also a very blessed and rich man. Over fifteen years ago, Norsigian went to a garage sale for the purpose of buying a barber chair. He didn’t get the chair. But he did pick up some old photographic glass plates. For years, Norsigian stored the two boxes containing those newspaper-wrapped glass plates under his pool table. But he’s not storing them there any longer. The plates were original Ansel Adams plates – some of which escaped the fire which destroyed the great photographer’s studio. That means the plates Norsigian paid $45 for were worth somewhere around $200 million.
