Mostly though, it doesn't fit the style of your excellent environmental portraits I've enjoyed so much. To fit your series, maybe if there were a picnic basket and checkered table cloth in the background, along with a bright-eyed terrier . . . You have captured a "friendly menace" in most of your gun portraits that makes me want to be on their side . . . or they on mine. You've probably encountered dozens of different reactions to that series. Along with the fine captures, I think that is probably what makes the portfolio so unique.
