I get a lot of people describing my photo to me in one word, just wondering what you all think of...see if I get anyone saying the same thing. Just curious! I like people's reactions to art, quite interesting.

    DUCK!!

    just kidding. I'm not sure what word comes to mind, cos my brain froze up a little when I saw a gun pointed at me. I don't like having a gun put in my face, not that it's not good art, but it just feels very threatening, so I guess you got an emotional response from me. Kinda had a fear reaction even when there is no need. Guess it doesn't help that I was having nightmares of being attacked last night.

    PS I like the way that you've focussed it.

    The responses that have been posted are what I thought would happen, but all my crazy friends (we're all art and philosophy majors, a bit off our rockers) each said 'trust'. They think trust because I allowed my friend to aim a gun right at me (don't worry, it wasn't real!). The story of this shot is interesting though.. did a portrait session of my friends with fun little props (cowboy stuff, princess jewelry, feather boas, just wanted to have fun photos of how we really act). Most people joked around and pointed the gun at their heads (I refused to take a photo of that). In walks the girl I lived with, picks up the gun and aims it right at me. She was the only person to aim it at the camera. And we are good friends, so they didn't think of her wanting to kill me, they thought of trust.
    But thanks for the responses!

    I thought: weird focus. But very cool picture though.

    WOW, what a shot! It jumps right out and says:

    GOTCHA!

    And I like that it's in black and white, I don't think it would be as shocking in colour. :)

    Why?

    I suppose that's the first thing I'd think, faced with someone pointing a gun at me. I'd want to know why.
