Guess the dry cleaning business didn't work out for him, huh? LOL!!
Ditto on the long barreled Thompsons. You were lied to about them being authentic tommy guns. Those are modern reproductions made by Khar Arms. A real Thompson only has about 3" to 4" of barrel forward of the front grip. Sherman may be short, but you cannot use that excuse! Google images of Thompson Machine gun. Nothing you can't fix in photoshop though. You can get authentic LOOKING tommy guns, if you pay the $200 tax stamp and if you go through the background check....(Ask me how I know)
Love the photo of him with the 1911A1, even though you should have used a non A1 Colt.
Oh crap, I just went back and took a closer look at the 1911A1. Way off! Angled cocking serrations, extended slide release...Post 1980's production.....
Oh, the wire wheels HAVE to go! Not period correct! I love this series of photos though. I guess I'm one of those anal retentive detail guys though.
BTW, my "other" hobby is gun collecting. ;^)
Here you go...

Indeed , 1927's were semi-auto , and only class 3 if the bll was shortened..but were still semi-auto , the 21's and 28's had a 10" bll not a 16" like the 27's.

still awesome pictures....and ones to be darn proud of it.

a real full auto Tommy from out local subgun match in June.

OMG! It's George Jefferson!

that's great! These shots are some of the most fun I've seen at POTN

NOt sure if you're looking for constructive criticism or not...but this is a good time to start really thinking about packaging your photography. It might be a good idea to ditch a lot of the older shots on your website...get rid of the landscapes...get rid of the damn macro shots....ditch most of the model shots except for a few of the hottest girls and the nostalgic stuff....and make these celebrity pics of George the center of your portfolio

LESS IS MORE! A photographer only really needs 12-20 shots to make an impression. You've got some celebrity factor now....so make the best of it...Less is more :D

Good luck with future shoots. I hope this raises your stock a bit. Thanks for sharing...it's a lot of fun viewing this post. BTW - see quote below
