Interesting. Some of them are disturbing. I'm pretty sure many of the ones under "Domestication" are photoshopped.

The domesticated ones are certainly 'constructed', i.e. faked, but I don't think they're Photoshopped.

that one you linked to is very creepy, almost pedophilic.

None of those pictures look remotely photoshopped (other than color balancing perhaps), What is it about them that makes you believe this?

Some of the most powerful are where no gun appears. The child holding the deer heart.

I like the nurse with the shotgun. Is she heading to work? Home from work and about to kill dinner?

The man about to shoot the turkey is sad. It's such a vulnerable image. I don't know if I can eat turkey on Thanksgiving day after seeing that. Ah, I'll probably be able by then. :)

I believe that nurse's "shotgun" is a high-power bolt-action rifle (unless it's a bolt-action .410, but the barrel looks a little small for .410). I'm guessing it's maybe a 7mm Mauser or so. I wonder how comfortable she is with shooting it. Unlike w/ semiautomatic rifles, there's no gas piston or springs eating up the recoil. I also noticed there are no sights on the rifle, although I think I see where you'd put Weaver scope rings on it.

I dunno why she'd be carrying a rifle around in town (note houses behind her) -- a bullet from one of those things keeps on keepin' on, which is why a rifle is a very poor choice as a home-defense wep. The succeeding photo looks like the same firearm hanging beside an outhouse door, which suggests she's toting the rifle with her on trips to the privy. Must be an interesting neighborhood she lives in, if she feels like she has to go outside armed like that.
