Okay, rather than drool, I'll give some honest advice...
"Step back, Jack." The image quality you've been showing doesn't begin to
touch the stuff you usually show here.

You've got a fabulous project idea - a definite book. So now slow down and
think very seriously about the idea; about what you're trying to show -
beyond the fact that there are people who own guns. What are you trying to
do photographically, artistically? What do you want the images to say? Do
you want them to have a consistent look? (I assume you do) So what is that
look? Why are you doing this project?

Go back, think about these things - and all the other things you'll think
about. Then start shooting - and when you're getting what you really want to
get - start showing them.

You asked... ;-)
