Talk:Henri Cartier-Bresson's Photograph/@comment-4820455-20170309030502/@comment-5782071-20170309031147

Thank you so much, I thought it was pretty clever! I first wanted to look for someone who was a photographer and painter, as I was thinking they could have owned both this photograph and the giant painting in the Art Gallery that has the same effect, but I decided against it. And just like Senchan's Lute, the perfect ​origin came along right when I needed it. At first I was hung up on how to justify why someone who exclussively did black and white photography would have a colored artifact, but luckily I didn't have much trouble finding an origin for that either. Though I did juggle with the idea that instead of his photograph, it was his camera that constantly created photographs (he was known to paint over or cover the shiny parts of it with tape so as to prevent it from reflecting and getting people's attention so that he could capture candid photographs better). Unfortunately that wasn't an instant camera, and I'm betting it wouldn't make a picture of this sixe anyway.

I do hope this starts a trend of making more Meta Artifacts (sorta like the GFS Cooking Spray, the clown music box, or the Replica Aztec Blood Stone), which was my intention.
