* Tina:  Please don't shatter my illusions.  Please don't tell me that in 
between stints creating heartwarming humanitarian pictures of beautiful 
people in third world countries, you shoot varmints in the woods.  :-)

* Kyle:  In all seriousness, you're on to something here.  People feel very 
strongly about guns.  Some very strongly good about them, some very 
strongly bad about them. Almost nobody is neutral.  So this project of 
yours is going to grab people.  I do agree with the comments about pictures 
in the living room and kitchen being best.  It's the guns juxtaposed with 
the typical living quarters that gives the edge.  I like the kitchen shot 
of the "Sapphic" couple best (yeah, I read the T-shirt).
