WarPaint

My friend and former student Kyle Cassidy, author of Armed America is getting play in the New York Times.  From what I can see on Google, he has been well received by the gun community also.  When my copy shows up, I'll review it from the perspective of an unreconstructed gun nut.  I got my copy from Amazon as well as a book of Smith&Wesson serial numbers.

So I goes and attends a party about 8 years ago at Kyle's Philly digs.  The reason for this party (as if he needed one) was the purchase of a meat-locker sized main-frame which was sitting in the middle of his living room cuz it wouldn't fit anywhere else...and surrounded by academic types mainly from the Annenberg and various Philly area universities.

Eccentric to the max, one of the highlights of the night was a digiridu concert, not a solo you understand...everyone but me it seemed brought an instrument.  To spend a lot of time with Kyle is to see the other side of the looking glass...and not in a bad way.  Even back  then, with photography not yet his main focus, you could see in his pictures that his eye saw the world at a 90^o angle.

His new book will be called War Paint.



Check out some of the photo's he has so far and see if you can pick out the famous warrior in there.  I was able to help a bit getting him pointed at some Vet groups, and he has more trips coming up for War Paint.

My own tattoo has faded away, as red ones tend to over time...and dorsal male pornography wouldn't be appropriate anyway.
