An April Fool's Day prank

April fool’s day today. The administrator of a photo group that Vince is in caught the members today with a good prank.
He posted on the site that after a lot of thought he had decided to allow AI-generated photos. Of course, this drew a great many comments, not all of them complimentary. But then one member put ‘What day is it today’ and of course, it was April Fool’s Day. So a nice harmless prank that I’m sure the members appreciated.
A day or two ago I posted a photo of a huge mural on a building in Perth. I’ll write more about it soon but the photo given here is by the same artist but is in Melbourne near our son’s house.

@snowy22315 By next year, they'll have forgotten the various jokes and will probably get caught again by whatever he comes up with next.

Those murals are amazing. No April Fool's Day pranks here. Have a good week.

@JudyEv Yeah. I can tell. The building must be very tall.

We have lots of pictures on grain elevators. These larger than life images are very impressive.

We have those too now. Some are really lovely; others can be a bit ordinary.

Before reading what you posted I was thinking the prank was changing the faces on building you posted before. So you fooled me

He had a lot of members fooled. It was probably lucky that someone realised what was happening and alerted the others.

I can see why people would be upset by a prank like that in a photography club. It IS a good prank though!

Another year he told people only photos taken with a Nikon would be acceptable as Nikon was now a sponsor. But that was all a joke too.

That sounds like a clever April Fool's Day prank! It's always fun to see how people react to unexpected announcements, especially when they're in on the joke. Looking forward to hearing more about the mural in Perth and its counterpart in Melbourne!

I'm not keen on pranks that make people look foolish but this one was pretty harmless. I was a bit surprised by what I learnt about this artist so I'll share it all soon. Thanks.

Harmless pranks are good and fun. But some people go for pranks that are hurtful to others. That should be avoided at all cost.
