WONDERFUL guns, great pictures, superb lighting, but, my DEAR old friend of nearly 40 years, WILL YOU FOR CRISSAKES PUT THEM ON A NICE IRONED WHITE BEDSHEET? I know you love your patio furniture, but this is NOT "Home & Garden".

Yes, i will use a white bedsheet from now on.

Memories of Rick (the Librarian) Slater’s Afghan blanket still haunt my brain.

I remember it! That was TRULY awful - wonder if he still has it? Will have to ask him. Met him - actually visited his home - on a trip north a few years ago - real nice guy.

I’m thinking Rick still has the afghan, as it was his grandmothers.

Gotta’ say though, I’d use an “earth tone” (brown or blue) backdrop for the photo session as white tends to shut down camera apertures so much that the object of interest becomes a “silhouette”.

I’ll try the white sheet on a cloudy day.
Then I’ll try a light blue towel.
I’m dreading my wife’s anger upon using one of her sheets, but I’ll do it.
