March 21: “Art” In America

Rancho Bernardo, CA

As I returned from grocery shopping I found this young man hawking “art” in between our cars.

“Pushing Van Gogh I see,” I quipped. “No,” he said, “these are sold, but if you have a lot of empty wall space I have plenty of other pieces in the car I can sell you cheap!”

With my aplomb challenged by this display I figured the best I could do would be to record this traveling “art gallery” for today’s PaD.

Pentax Optio 550
1/307s f/5.0 at 7.8mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Did you touch any of them, they might have been "hot".

Hey, that's an idea for your photos. You can frame them and sell them outside the supermarket :^)

Ah you 've got to love the entrepreneurial spirit. I wonder if those are the original works of art. Before everyone emails me to set me straight let me just say that I do know that these aren't originals.

Robin, from the thumb I thought maybe you had a new agent. Fun shot, and wiser heads prevailed.

I'm with Gayle.

Nice candid. I don't find this odd because we always have these people up and down the highway. For a minute there, Robin, I thought someone was hawking your Australia photos!

I would never have the, um...courage to do something like this.

VanGogh or Monet? Hard to tell. Either way, I can't believe you didn't buy at least two!

How bizarre! Nice shot though
