One Way Out
More from my Olympus XA2 in an underground parking garage that I was using as a short cut.
I thought the lower and artificial light levels would be a good part of my camera tests.
I quite like these pictures, but because of the nice clean graphics, which may not be enough to make a photo.
I find it interesting how on the top corner of both arrows one can see the circle,
with a slight indent showing how it would continue into the white part of the arrow.
You don’t see this on the bottom corners.
I am thinking it must be a small defect in the stencil perhaps emphasized by an optical illusion.
If so, then the stencil would have been flipped over between signs, with different lettering applied afterwards.
Is that kind of thinking essentially archaeological?

Sloppy drafting – that’s what that bad curve-to-line transition used to mean, back when drafting was done by hand. It’s all coming back to me now, about the correct way to draft that (circles or arcs first, then the straight line to connect them). I didn’t even know I remembered that sort of stuff from my long-ago drafting career, but your photo and comments brought it all back…

It’s the kind of thinking from a curious mind. I ask these questions, too. Drives some folks nuts.

Well, it is convenient camouflage for me to hid that irritating nature behind my profession. Maybe that is why you have ended up working at a museum – curiosity is allowed in places like that.
