In defense of my pit bull….she’s a real sweetheart and failed to even take a nibble on John. She’s supposed to bark, John!

I’m not sure what he means about “being around guns”. Maybe he means he was worried about the cops…a fear most of us medical marijuana patients rightly have. The only gun in my house at the time was an antique 30/30 lever action deer rifle that I’ve never put a bullet in. Nina wanted John to take a picture of me holding a gun….I guess Nina wanted a “gangsta” look to fit her particular spin on me, but I wasn’t biting on that hook. I’m not a criminal and refuse to pose for shots that might depict me as one.

I also don’t own a “wife-beater” t-shirt. That belonged to my roommate who is 100 lbs heavier than I am….but they insisted on the wife-beater look for the photo. If you’re ever really famous, John, and I get the chance to shoot photos of you….I’ll get you back for that shot.

Oh….I also don’t have marijuana plants in my bedroom…only because they wouldn’t grow very well there.

To the person who commented here about me being a “Pusher”, I’d just like to point out that I’m 60 years old and I don’t have one arrest, let alone a conviction, for drug trafficking….or pretty much anything else. Sorry to burst your ruin your prototyping efforts.

Am I “brash”….you bet. I’m an activist….”brash” is required in the field manual.:-)

As a side note, I hear that former detective Roy Alloway may be indicted by a Federal grand jury for numerous illegal gun transactions. Hard to tell who the “bad guys” are anymore, right? Roy will never be a “good guy” in anyone’s book. Roy didn’t retire early based on this story, but may very well have retired because Nina Shapiro was hot on his trail on another story….that died with Roy’s untimely retirement.

Thanks, John….good job…with a difficult subject.

Very calm lighting, love it.
