GUNS & SNAPSHOTS

Guns fascinate people. As an object that typifies America, they are up there with cars, TV sets, and cell phones.  They are an integral feature of noir films, and play a major role in movie Westerns.  In snapshots they can be evocatively displayed as a piece of sculpture, be scary toys, seen as emblems of macho behavior by soldiers, and are proudly displayed in many hunting scenes.  After the cloying sweetness of Valentine’s Day, it is time to get back to reality, so here are some amazing examples of gun photos as brought to you by fellow snapshot collectors.  You can find biographies of the collectors contributing photos here.
