So, unlike previous obsessions, this one with The West just won't die. I believe it'll be something to add to my admittedly already strange personality. I'm now convinced that I will wear cowboy boots for the rest of my life, they are just too cool.
I'm also of the opinion that photographers are their own kind of gunslinger. I have yet to come up with my own term for it, (cameraslinger sounds dumb, but camslinger shows promise) but it's already working its way into my head. A new breed of photographer. Hell, maybe we'll have camera "holsters". A quick draw also means a quick movement of the fingers to set the ISO and shutter speed. I've even got the term "shoot" on my side on this one. This is actally a good addition to my already growing philosophy in regards to photography. Take the shot once, find that one photo that defines a moment, all that kind of stuff.
I also just finished 3:10 to Yuma. Amazing. Just, stunning. It doesn't help that the main character reminds me of a past coworker (friend?) of mine David Calvert. (Who I just found out holds the first hit on a Google search for his name. This makes me a bit jealous because not only have I not turned up in vain searches on google yet, I don't think "Daniel Clark" is nearly unique enough to me for that to ever happen.)

Don't sell yourself short. Who knows, in three years you could be the most famous Daniel Clark around.
And Gordon Parks considered his camera a weapon...you're definitely on to something.
