8:48 AM, Pasadena, CA. More guns! A snapshot of arcade firearms against a hand painted landscape of grass and shrubs. Now that’s an interesting juxtaposition.

11:32 AM, Altadena, CA. I have a soft spot for the Dirty Harry franchise that starred Clint Eastwood. This happens to be a screen shot from the “Magnum Force” title sequence. I like the simplicity of the composition, just a firearm on a striking blood red background. In a few moments, the view changes from a profile to a direct view down the barrel of the gun.
