i think the document is real, but it is the photographer's hand...
and he is simply holding the pen at the very end of Arnold's signature...
am i correct?
That is the official proclamation and his signature, just my hand and pen held in the shot. (hard to shoot left-handed too!!)
Typically a newspaper photo of a "signing event" would highlight the person doing the signing, and not the document they are signing -- the story that goes along with the photo would explain all that. So to me, this seems a bit unrealistic for a newspaper photo.
Nice composition. I would've liked it better if it was a bit more in focus. The third paragraph already seems to be a bit out of focus and it already is in the middle of the shot.
Not something I'd see in a Californian newspaper. I think you can bet your best lens it'd have the real Mr. Arnond in the photo. (I realize you probably made this up though. But I think you'll understand my point)
