Default iPhone in 1937 Painting? Spooooooky...
This was painted in 1937 by Umberto Romano in a New Deal commission.





Not sure how this guy in the tub got hold of an iPhone, but it's kind of amazing. What's he meant to be looking at? Was Romano a time traveler? A seer or clairvoyant? Just a painter taking geometric abstraction too far?

But MAN does that look like someone checking Instagram...

His video of the witch flying around on a broomstick is going viral.

He's sneaking a photo of the topless woman behind him. Meanwhile, the dude in the necklace is totally photobombing him.

There's really a lot going on in this scene. Every time I look, I notice something new. It's no wonder he had his iPhone out and taking photos.

An iPhone? What complete and utter nonsense...






It's obviously a Samsung.

It's interesting though isn't it - it shows how good we are at interpreting things through the lens of our own experience rather than seeing whats there.
