Tom McDonnell | Compulsive Yard Worker, Gun Collector / Litchfield, CT
December 25, 2007
All the wood is very interesting... I love the lighting. Tom has somewhat of a grin... Warm, yet sort of creepy (in a sweet way). The contrast makes me feel uneasy... Hey, it moves me. What can I say? Haha too much Christmas food. I'm not making any sense now. Love you, Bill. I can't believe its already coming to the end of this project!!! You're an inspiration.

I was wondering what you were going to do for Christmas. I figured your mom or sister. I didn't even think of Tom. He looks good. 37 years, and I didn't know he was a gun collector. Anyway, Merry Christmas. You were in my thoughts today (as well as everyone else in your family), as I showed you off to my wife's family. They were as impressed as everyone else I've introduced to your work. You're a natural at this stuff. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to everybody. Your cousin, Daryle

Very cool - almost a study in duality. Anyone else starting to get stressed, wondering who Dec. 31 is gonna be? :)

A quick glance and i thought i saw a musician with some sort of oboe! Then my page scooted down of its own accord to the caption and i was taken by surprise. An interesting, provocative, and maybe a little controversial portrait for Christmas Day. Happy christmas one and all, peace on earth etc. x

This is fantastic, I love it! Bill it's hard to believe the year is almost over - congratulations and enjoy these last few days. You are amazing!

I thought it was an oboe at first too. I like the glass cabinet! The serene flowers and birds on it seem odd near all the guns, but it makes the photo more interesting. Merry Christmas!

Bill - I can't imagine what I'm going to do when this project is done. It the first website I check every day. This site has inspired me to try photography again after a 15 year hiatus. Thank you for that. I walked my family through every photo on Christmas day. It was fun debating our favorites. I hope you have another project we can enjoy.

All the browns woods makes it warm. That's another boy right there and that one isn't going to shoot his eye out. There is a precision to it as well as that little boastful playfulness of showing the toys. Well, weapons.

What a way to say Merry Christmas! :)
