Maybe it's just me, but I think everyone is being way too hard on the guy.
Putting a 12-gauge round through an abandoned car windshield, as art, hadn't
occurred to me before, but now I see it.  Someone has to be first.  Come to
think of it, one of the portfolios has a dead steer and a coyote that look
like someone had blown them away, so there are more possibilities yet.
Finally, if anyone wants to purchase a print, be sure to notice that an
unmounted, unframed 18" print is only $500, whereas a framed 20" print is
$3,200.  I could have the slightly smaller print framed for $100 and pocket
a $2,600 savings for my trouble.  Hope this helps someone.
