Death: Apart from the gun, the lady with the fixed glaze set in the distance on the left-hand side looks like a cross between a statue and a stiff as a result (sorry Miss). The photo even includes wreaths in the background ... speak of readiness. Also, the carton below the hand ironically reads half-half ... Everything clicks! The more I look at it the more I think this photo is one of your very best Tina and, I don't know exactly why, reminds me of Ted's Cowboys resting in that cabin. Philippe in awe. > Today in Alabama.
