It will facilitate all those with preconceived notions to refacilitate their notions. Henryk Ross photographed the Lodz Ghetto with the full knowledge of the Nazis. He may have sneaked a few he wasn't supposed to but nonetheless, he was a known quantity. Many of the images he took would probably have been widely published by the Nazis without understanding what was being shown. I kind of feel the same about your images. Fantastic stuff which works on different levels. One may look and see something and look again and see something else. You are absolutely right about Florida too. Every mother's son (and daughter) packs an iron. I remember when the concealed carry law went into effect years back and half the idiots in the county started carrying their pieces. Still, we can hope they all shoot themselves before shooting an innocent passerby. One other thing, if you want some real action spend time in Texas. I'll be I could put you in touch with someone around El Paso/Juarez who would be glad to pop a cap on some one for a couple of 8x10 glossies. :-) Walt Kyle Cassidy wrote: >Walt Johnson Said: > > > >>Some of these crackpots might live down the street >> >> >>from a sane person.
