Re: Posing while holding a gun/rifle

Given the religious views of her family, I'm sure none of the Liberals watched the show anyway (although that doesn't stop them from voicing their disgust for her parents).

Why would TMZ discuss this? I mean besides the obvious - TMZ is a joke.
Same when Paige from American Guns did the spread a couple years ago. Fake outrage about a minor at the time handling a 1911.
 
Re: Posing while holding a gun/rifle

On here? A lot, the liberals skin will crawl all night after viewing that pic. I am sure a boycott of her show is coming very soon.
Are you calling for a boycott?

Really ...Why in the world would anyone be upset with a kid holding a gun?

Don't care. It means no more than posing with your car or your dog.

I'm not. When I was that old, I owned firearms. I never took a picture with one but let's face it, today, photographs are much more commonplace when you can take a ton of them digitally on your phone. What do you find wrong with the picture?
 
Here's a picture of a kid with a gun ...

Nothing at all ...
As has been pointed out ...
It is a toy.

Even if it wasn't. Even if it was an AK-47. So what?

When I was that old, I didn't even have access to a camera, let alone all of the technology kids have access to today that snaps a photo.

I didn't have a camera of my own but my parents did and I probably could have used it if I had any interest at all, which I didn't. Selfies are mostly a modern phenomenon.

My parents kept their camera under lock and key so we wouldn't wreck it. The first camera they gave to me was one of those disk ones. There were a lot of reasons I didn't snap selfies, not the least among which you had to pay to develop every shot you used so you didn't use them to get what would inevitably end up being a picture of your shoulder or your ceiling.:lol:

I took my first "selfie" when I was 7 with a Kodak brownie camera.
That was 54 years ago.
I was imitating a photo of my Dad that he took in the mirror well before I was born.

It's really not a new idea at all.

Was it a Brownie? That's what my parents had.
 
Re: Posing while holding a gun/rifle

They had one of them too, it was an old one that my father had for years, but it wasn't what I remember them using in the 70s to take pictures.

I wish I had still had that Brownie. I'll bet it would be worth something today.

Seven mile fair near Milwaukee probably has tons of those, along with older Kodak cameras, who knows if you could even get film for those any more.

Remember when they used to have a photo development booth in every parking lot, you could just drop off the roll of film at a driveup?

Yeah it's probably very hard to find film these days. I don't even remember the last time I saw a negative.

You can still get it online, there are plenty of places still making and selling film. Just a quick search found this place to buy and this place to develop, but there are tons more.

I personally took a lot of "selfies" over the years ... But then I was in the photo finishing business for over 30 years.
Much like the digital medium of today's cameras and phones, it really didn't cost me anything.
I had a Minox full frame miniature 35mm camera that had a fairly wide lens. Perfect for even group selfies. I always had it because it fit in my shirt pocket.
It cracks me up when people act as though selfies are a new thing.

Probably not. They can often be found in thrift stores, quite cheaply.

Most of the larger ones used type 620 film, which hasn't been made for a long time. However, you can often get 120 film to work in them. The film is exactly the same; the spools are just a bit different. A 120 film in a 620 camera might occasionally not stay in place. I would recommend having a changing bag handy of you need to open the camera and put the spool back in place.

I expect that 120 will be the next-to-last film format to go away, with standard 35mm film (also known as 135) to be the very last. 120 is used in very expensive, high-end medium-format cameras, such as those for which Hasselblad has been the best-known brand.

I think you can still easily enough find 135 film in almost any supermarket, drugstore, or Walmart/Target-style department store; along with facilities to get it processed. For what few other formats of film still exist, you'll probably have to seek out a camera store.
