Ryan's art in the style of Dominic Pangborn

Ryan's art in the style of Dominic Pangborn. Holey moley, an artist friend was showing us some of his own and other pieces he had in his home. He showed us a three-dimensional work by Dominic Pangborn, and I noticed that it was in the same style as a similar three-dimensional work that Ryan had just completed. Lo and behold, here's Ryan holding his piece up to an original by Dominic Pangborn. (Sony A7R II, Zeiss 35mm f/1.4, f/2 at 1/125, Auto ISO 500.)

11 September 2015, Friday

We had a great laugh while visiting California.

We saw this great DOUBLE REWARDS sign as we walked into a store:

Double Rewards

DOUBLE REWARDS!!! (Sony A7R II, Zeiss 24-70mm f/4 at 29mm at f/4 and 1/30, Auto ISO 100.)

Ryan, with extraordinary powers of observation, noticed something amusing, since he saw the tiny asterisk after DOUBLE REWARDS* and tried to see what was the gotcha:

Not available in California

Invisible fine print.

On this sign, in print too small to read, even up close, was this:

Not available in California

Not available in this state. Camera-original © file.

Ryan asked "Aren't we in California today?" Yip, we were, and that sign was completely misleading: there were NO double rewards available today or any other day!

Funny thing is that Ryan, Mr. Facts, pointed this out to the manager, the manager simply shrugged her shoulders and was like "so?"
