LOL, thanks George. These were SO FUN to do today. It helps to have an award winning equity stage actress and her boyfriend to indulge our little fantasies that's for sure!

And the very best part; had it not been for photography, we would never have met the folks we've encountered along the way. It keeps all of this in healthy perspective.

..........Mark. :)

Thel, kitchen violence is not limited to the greater Sacramento area. And I agree, I've had more blood butchering a chicken in the kitchen.

Kitchen violences may not be limited to the greater Sacramento area, but we invented it.

You may be absolutely correct. In our house the occasional in the kitchen gas leak can often ignite quibbling, but has yet erupted into full scale violence. Depending on the severity of the leak, violence of Sacramento proportions is not out of the question.

hahahaha.....you said gas leak.

I can't keep writing comment in this post.
If you have too many, people might start thinking this is King's photo. :)

Richard, he's been shot in the head, I don't think he'll mind...

Feet, not again Richard!

Arne, the wife, check, the kitchen, check, a 9mm, nope a 1911 .45 caliber

That's right. Mark is a bit of a gun nut and expert now that I jog my memory! I am hoping to get back into shooting when I get home. I was quite the marksman when I did my stint in the Army Reserves to pay for UNI. That and the smell of sulfur is sooooo nice.

@ Beamer

Don't let death deceive you. People always care about their role in the composition of a weekly shot entry. I am sure his last thoughts would have been about this site and the critique that would be sent Mark's way...

Love that smell along with the smell of anything having to do with an engine. BTW Richard, I laughed my ass off about the feet thing! And when I shot this one I told Mel to look 'LOVINGLY' at my beloved 1911. She did so very well. What a blast this was to do.

I was not very good at hand gun shooting. I did well with the F88 Steyr and even better with the minimi. It balanced with my weight/size better. I guess just like heavier cameras are easy to hold steady compared to light ones. I also miss the smell of carbon that is rubbed all over your fingers and mixed in with the cleaning oil after thrashing about in the back end of the bolt retriever action with a tooth brush. Almost joined for full time at one stage. Seriously considered it.....

I love Melissa's expression in this one.

Where is the other body?

It took a bit of time to wrap the body in plastic and put into the recycling bin.

In the kitchen waste bin? Or do body parts go into the general trash? For sure they can't go in with the paper, plastic or glass.....

hmmmm guns don't kill people. but wives that come home and find the kitchen a mess do. :)))
