Iconic photograph Jim ... even looks a bit Warhol-ish.

Take a common everyday type object and make a totally realistic image of it in such a way as to make it transcend its everyday commonality!

Nice!!!


I carry alternating buck and ball when traveling afoot in big bear country.

Thanks Daniel, appreciate the comment.

I bought a box of 12g slugs the other day, they certainly pack a wallop.

Also bought a box of .410 slugs, they were dearer than the 12g.

I also never knew there was such a thing as Winchester Australia

Nice camera work Jim.  You have certainly captured the depth of the image.

I also never knew of Winchester Australia either.
