In defense of the individual to which Hank sold the photos (who is a friend of mine), he indeed purchased the photos with the intention of using them in the museum (which is a work in progress and not a fabrication). In fact, he was very excited to show them to me. I'm not certain if or why he's chosen to let them go, but I can assure all that his motives were not devious when purchasing the images.
