Peculiar photo from my friend Ryan at his company Website
August 8th, 2006 — dan.linMy friend from high school Ryan has a photo of himself with a couple of his coworkers on the company’s Website where he works for his dad. At first glance I noticed something peculiar and odd about his appearance. Take a look below and you will see what I mean:
Does it look strange? The 2 women look normal but Ryan looks as if he had been stretched. His head is just ever so slightly skewed. Maybe Ryan has been working out and trimming down. Good for you Ryan! Coming from a another ‘big bone’ fella like myself I think you look GREAT in this photo.
Well, after a little bit of photo manipulation, I came up with the following modified image of the original:
There! Now that’s the Ryan I remember. That is what Ryan looks like in real life. What could it have been? Do you think the photographer just made a mistake? Or did Ryan make an ‘executive decision’ in having the his photo stretched? I mean those 2 women sure look horrendous in the second photo. Here is another superimposed photo that combines the 2:
Well, you be the judge. I am guessing someone is not happy with their photogenicity and requested the photographer for a little digital plastic surgery to improve his image. Afterall, you GOTTA look good when you are commanding a fleet of Volkswagen-Jetta-driving, baton-wielding George-Nori-listening and ham-radio-operating rent-a-cops around town in the dead of night…..

Had you done your research better you would have noticed that I no longer manage the security guard company. I manage the janitorial company, which are not employed with “Volkswagen-Jetta-driving, baton-wielding George-Nori-listening and ham-radio-operating rent-a-cops around town in the dead of night…..” but rather Chevy Van driving, Celia Cruz listening, doing the job that no one else wants to do in the dead of night for 12 hours, bad asses. Also:
1. My dad didn’t hire me
2. My PARENTS, who started the business together (my mom would kill you if she saw that “dad” only shit) are no longer in the day-to-day operations of the business, so my dad isn’t my boss (but my uncle is).
3. I remember a certain someone having a large dome themselves, only to be outdone by Pat Stone.

Dan, way to catch the obvious photoshopping that happened to this photo. Geil, that is pretty weak making yourself look bigger in front of the “little people” of the business.

I really appreciate the exposure on your site. Since then, I have recieved numerous phone calls from potential clients. They like my head size.
