You could try, but I suspect it would be a small group at best.

Wow, now I’m more of a Dan Ryan groupie than ever. Oh, maybe I should start a fan club!

I love these long exposures. The lines look like power cables, glowing.

@Crank: excellent!

You’re a genius. We should write that up as a screenplay treatment.

“… a flattering way to make an elderly family member into a newly-made vampire character …”

Elderly person goes for botox treatment. Technician mixes vampire blood with the botox and KAZAAM! —> A vampire that can’t raise it’s eyebrows or form any known facial expressions.

Like Keanu Reeves.

Comment on The Passport Photo—A small reflection by Dan Ryan

I’m sure that this is correct in the reality in which you currently find yourself, Crank Man.

I don’t think they rejected the photo just because of the background Dan (although it’s certainly wrong). A.f.a i.k. you’re not allowed to smile in passport photos either.

The reason for this is that the saliva produced by smiling might stick the pages of the passport together resulting in a delay of o.38 seconds per passport at passport control. When extrapolated out to all the passports in all the airports in America it would result in a delay equivalent to all the passengers on the Titanic travelling to the moon and back 48,963 times a year. This would be grossly unfair on Kate Winslet.
