[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've enjoyed this exchange concerning my gun photos. I guess it must be art in some fashion if it provokes thought and discussion. <G Here's a few thoughts concerning the comments: * Most everyone in Rural Ohio has a gun. If they didn't before November 11 they do now. Gun stores have done a huge business and are picked over. Ammo, particularly personal protection rounds, is in short supply. Waiting lists for Concealed Carry Classes are backed up months. You can't get on a range without a wait. Perception, right or wrong, is that new administration will tighten gun laws, ammo sales and be soft on criminals and illegal immigration. *I keep most of my guns locked up securely in a gun vault. As to the others, well, "Make my Day"<G(I'm kidding, I'm kidding) *I don't have any 9mm high capacity weapons for the boys in the hood. *We have no boys in the hood around here. If we did they would be driven to the county line by the Police Chief (and that is a true story). *My real security system is our Killer Bichon Frise Dog. When she is hungry or annoyed, watch out.<G Seriously (and the above comments were a weak attempt at humor), I would appreciate some input and suggestions on the actual photos, particularly the lighting. I've played with the light box for my other avocations, watches and cameras, but the shiny metal on gun barrels gives me fits. So does finding the correct point of focus given my 55 year old eyesight, or lack thereof.
