I generally try not to repeat myself, but I had the chance to redo an earlier photo that I liked, so why not? This one plays the same black and white/color trick, but because it is frontal emphasizes the work of advertising art itself. In real life it doesn't look this colorful at all. I like the cheerful reference to Portland's bad old gambling and speakeasy days. See the first version of this shot here.
