The ‘Please Take Photos’ sign is an iconic staple in Ringelstetter’s booth, and it seems to be perceived differently by everyone. It’s uncommon in the art circuit for artists to allow photos of their work to be taken out of the fear of plagiarism, but Ringelstetter has a different take on that idea.
Coming from a small town upbringing, Ringelstetter is beyond flattered to know that people want to help him share his work with the world, and he believes that with the influence of social media, allowing patrons to photograph his work only helps his career.
