Owning or possessing an UZI is specifically against the law in Michigan.
That even applies to the semi-automatic models. Does show how
politicians' minds work doesn't it?

I shot another pic for a jewelry ad today. It's a low-budget

the subject, you'll know why it made both me and the model a bit
nervous...
If you need to shoot something like this again, I think I would just
photograph the bank separately, and then composite that image behind
the image of the model, which you would shoot in the safety of your
own studio. If you don't want to do the compositing in Photoshop, you
could even make a huge print of the bank image and use it as a studio
background.
In the studio, you could have also used a real gun without attracting
the wrong sort of attention. (That is, if you know someone who owns an
Uzi.)
I also think Shel should try duplicating this shot in that
neighborhood with the fire hydrants and the school yard. ;)
take care,
Glen
