The Gunfight: Man with a Gun

Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 1 December 2007 in People & Portrait.

The other day I went back in time to witness a gunfight. John Westley Hardin was on the run. When I walked into the town, he and his gang had just arrived and were wreaking havoc. The following is a visual record of how things transpired.

@kairospix: I really liked listening to Clapton's version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff". Clapton is truly talented.

Whoaaaa, he does look dashing and subtly menacing!! Truly superb portrait, dear Kanyi. I really love the way you’ve composed this shot (is that part graffiti I see on the wall? ;) ) , and especially like this combination of colours and textures!
Thank you too for the video (of the Era song) you shared on Kairo's site yesterday. I enjoyed it very much. :)

@Rebecca: Hi Rebecca! I am glad you like the image. What's on the wall is a painting. I really did not get much of the wall this is the closest i got to taking a pic of the wall. The man was standing to the right of the wall.
