Description

I have not been in bars in years. I went to some a few years ago not to drink but just to see if they change. i saw they did not. cops was there breaking up a fight. some guy feel up a woman and her boy friend was mad so the man who did that got in a fight with the boyfriend. I Say " nothing change at all. i remember the same things going on when I went to these places. One reason I left it not worth it. I did crazy things too. I wonder how many people get killed or hurt at these places? I know the closed them down in the 1920's but people still drink and people die. See the movies of the roaring 20's and the mob. But i think it world wide and all thought out history things like this happen Here i trying to show violence and the music there make you cry most the time for it sad words to the songs most the time. anyway this came out of sitting in the dark, listening to the battery radio for the lights is out . Got candles and flashlights. Wish to take photos so I get this guitar my son have and my .357mag gun. and I started shooting I first just had the .357 out on the table and two candles then I added a flashlight and then I saw the guitar and set them all on the glass table. took may shots and this one i LIKED THE BEST. i KEEP ON MOVEING THISGS AROUND TO GET TO THIS IMAGE. i WAS HAPPY WHEN i SAW THE IMAGE. tHERE IS NO BULLITS IN THE .357 SO i WOULD NOT SHOT MYSELF. i WISH I THOUGHT OF CUCKing the .357 but did not . oh well can not think of every thing. hate cap lock lol sorry but there too much to redo now. thanks for looking and comment too. I do not go to these places no more. went a few years ago to take photos of the girl who dance on top the bar and that the last time.

I love the warm, amber tones in this photo. :D Very effective composition as well... The reflections on the glass table came out beautifully! I appreciate also what you wrote. I never did like bars; something about them creeps me out.

Awesome Jocko, the composition is fantastic, I'm glad you like it cause I love it, the shadow of the magnum on the guitar is a master touch. It's surprising that something so cold as this gun gives of so much warmth in this image. This really is top notch photography, the shadows and reflections play a big part here, the use of candles and the flashlight superb. This has to be up there in your top ten to date. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

This is awesome, Jock. It is so well composed and lit. The image tells a story even it you didn't see the title or your narrative. I agree this is one of your best.

A pistol has only one purpose. It can't really be brandished to show resolve or pointed to make certain the time. I have always felt that "to bear" means to "bring to bear" not "to carry." "Abridged" is a book kind of thing. Set to music it sounds like...?
