There are three fairly frequent "composition with gun" fotos which are giveaways. Anorexic, bucktoothed female holding gun; gun on snooker or pool table (particularly if torn cover is in evidence and possibly also flat black wall "treatment"; gun with pajama bottoms and house slippers uncropped (guy has a chair on which he perches quite capably but apparently gets out of bed for little else). There's one guy on AA or GB who I swear uses a soft focus filter to record his high dollar junk recumbent on a bed of what appears to be zebra hide. And how about the seller who takes snaps of his product on his pasteboard computer desk with keybd. always present in shot (a dyed-in-the-wool internet merchant). Call me conventional but I really don't care to witness the tertiary stages of personality disintegraton and I prefer the seller to keep his dog, kid, fat nephew, and schedule for receipt of new kidney out of the shot. Porches or decks with snow and Cardinal are OK if there's enuf sun to make the gun visible.
