I have been friends with quite a few people that at one time or another made their living with rather specialised weapons in places that they couldn't really talk about. One was an agricultural specialist who spent several years in Laos (sort of) in the late 1960's. He is the one who expained why he might want to use an AK at night after he finished with a scoped 7mm mag. Sound signatures will confuse a lot of people at night. Interestingly enough, he spoke fluent Chinese, was married to a woman he met in China somewhere in the border region with China and was one of the nicest, most considerate people you could ever want as a neighbor. You did want to get invited over when he was cooking. Another gentleman had just traded in his uniform and had spent time somewhere in Africa and the Middle East and really couldn't say what he had been doing. Again, a very considerate person with a wonderful warm family who was very involved in local civic endeavors to the betterment of those less fortunate. Whether an individual has the capacity to use a weapon does not automatically make them monsters. 0.02 Don don.dory@gmail.com On 2/24/06, Nathan Wajsman <nathan@nathanfoto.com> wrote: > > A scary family, well photographed... > > Nathan > > kyle cassidy wrote: > > >really. > > > >the portrait project continues. shockingly, in the last three days i've > gotten about a hundred emails from people who want to participate. this is > going to turn into a road trip. well, multiple road trips. i think my first > will be to georgia via d.c. -- but that's a couple months away. in the > meantime -- philly area. > > > >anthony, an ex marine sniper, the lovely portia, and their two dogs, yumi > and leeloo. > > > > > http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/ago/portia-anthony/portia-ant-4.jpg > > > >i brought less lighting than i needed. i'm not going to make that mistake > again. i'd been doing nicely with one light, but the setup of the shot i > wanted here called for another one behind the bookshelf which i just didn't > have. ouch. well. live and learn. > > > >kc > > > > > >_______________________________________________ > >Leica Users Group. > >See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > > > > > > > > -- > Nathan Wajsman > Almere, The Netherlands > > SUPPORT FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUY DANISH PRODUCTS! > > General photography: http://www.nathanfoto.com > Picture-A-Week: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws > Seville photography: http://www.fotosevilla.com > > Stock photography: http://www.alamy.com/search-results.asp?qt=wajsman > http://myloupe.com/home/found_photographer.php?photographer=507 > Prints for sale: http://www.photodeluge.com > > Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
