Challenging Look

Uploaded: August 29, 2009

Description

Shot this during an old West gunfighters' demonstration. The way this guy was looking at me, I wasn't sure if he was challenging me to a draw or what. I was shooting with a camera, and he was shooting with a gun, so I thought it wise to back down.

The light is super here, Marvin, and I love the way the angle of the hat hides one eye and partially covers the other -- certainly does add to the expression. This guy could stare me down, too. #1174431
