Darrin Ball was at his day job at an upstate fire department last summer when the phone rang.
“One of my relatives had called me and said ‘Hey, did you check your mail yet?’ And I said, ‘No, why?’ And she goes, ‘Well, there’s a very interesting piece of mail in there with your photo all over it,’” Ball said.
When he got home he found a glossy mailer with his face on it, rendered in somewhat sinister black and white.
