Nah, if he were gay, I think the rest of these guys would have taken him out for a little "re-education," if you know what I mean.

I bet they gave him a what's what on his taste in chaps though.

I am nearly certain everyone in that horrible vintage photo "repro" is a woman.

Ugh, I just can't get that photo out of my head. There are SO MANY THINGS wrong with it. I see the white lettering at the bottom and it makes me think that this photo was passed off as genuine.

First of all, a person brings their gun to a photo shoot because it is a prized possession, not because they want to threaten the camera man with it. A genuine photo would have the firearm visiable from the side.

Anyone with any self respect would never allow themselves to be photographed sitting in the dirt. Corpses gunned down by posses are even photographed on their feet.

A 19th century photographer has a very crude notion of "background". The shot should have been tighter around the people being photographed.

The people should have been posed "tighter" per 19th century shots. If you look at 18XX shots, people are nearly always crammed together to pose.

Man, that photo bugs me. :)
