  1. Safety first kids.

    For photos, keep your finger out of the trigger guard. Even when ( you think )there is no ammo in the gun.

  2. is that a grandchild of Groucho Marx?

    PS Fnarf you are 1000 times uglier. Your mom should have swallowed.

  3. It’s not a real gun, folks, at least from what I can see. I don’t know what the fuck it is, but it doesn’t look like any gun I’ve ever seen.

  4. 11 – there is a filter package called ‘camera bag’ for iphone that makes photos look all hip and 1970s like that

  5. I’m not sure if these comments make me hate Seattle, or just comments in general. And not because I think it’s a great pic and a cute girl, but because it’s forced me to conjure a mental image for the lot of you.

  6. 1,000 times uglier than what, douchebag? Uglier than this girl? Guilty as charged. Uglier than you? Not possible.

    Psst — I’m not a Republican, either, but a disturbing number of Sloggers seem to think so.

  7. I’m curious about her left hand – it’s balled up into a fist. Is it a nervous “I don’t know what to do with my hand” fist or a “I’m going to swiftly punch and shoot you in the face” fist?

  8. To clarify, I think she’d probably be cute when not tricked out like an extra from a biopic of Davey Crockett. But that’s a shit ton of bad 80s makeup right there.

  9. Fnarf’s never struck me a Republican, or even entirely that conservative. Maybe owning a car puts you over the threshold?

    Anyhow, the insecurities this photo stirred up is really something else, even for SLOG.

  10. Wow, apparently I am dumb. I totally loved this photo, and found it to be very beautiful and interesting.

    Side bar: everything with glasses is not HIPSTER. Jesus, let it go people. My mom totally had those glasses in the 1980s, and I dated a guy with a fetish for them. No big deal. Christ on a cracker, you people insane.

  11. @19, no, it was shot on Fuji Provia 400 in a Yashicamat 124G. Neat cameras; I have a 124 LM, but I broke it. This photo oozes 120 cream; ain’t no crappy iphone app that can do that.

  12. I concur with #28, again.

    Also, if you’re old enough to hate on “hipsters”, you’re old enough to be expected not to care.

  13. @29
    ::Apple jingle music plays::

    Need to hide a body?
    ::index finger scrolls from right to left through list: hog farm, east river, incinerator, plasma fire::
    There’s an app for that.

  14. Wait. Hipsters like guns? I can’t keep up.

    Oh hey on Saturday I hung out with the Cretins (some have tattoos and thick glasses!) for their benefit thing and with a small section of beers I went ahead and went with PBR. And get this… nothing bad happened!

  15. i’m surprised the cretins dont hate you more than the skateboarders, elecheezos

  16. @37 Skaters are unique. Nobody’s feelings are so easily hurt, and nobody carries a grudge for as long. Skaters are like precious flowers that only bloom for one day and die instantly if you disturb them even slightly. So no, neither the Cretins nor anybody else is skater-like in their wrath.

  17. Jeez, the things that trigger you people are just beyond me. It’s a nicely shot photo, with a subject who you have to admit is interesting looking even if she doesn’t meet your high standards. Why the mix of misdirected rage and self hatred? Don’t you have some kittens to kick or something? Damn, you kids are messed up.

  18. And @36 I’ll tell you the truth: the PBR tasted exactly like ordinary everyday beer, which is what it is. And jesus christ if you don’t like it just calm down and order something else.

  19. @40: The “trigger” is a field that says “add a comment” and the opportunity to be an asshole without having to answer for it.

  20. @41 I’m quite calm, thank you very much. If you’re in the market for a light beer I suggest the Roslyn Lager, made locally and quite tasty, no histrionics were implied or intened, so check your self-importance at the submit button please.

  21. “…the opportunity to be an asshole without having to answer for it.”
    If that’s what this is for, I’m very, very sad. Also, I wish somebody had told me that glasses and a funny nose makes you a hipster. I could have been living that crazy hipster lifestyle this whole time!

  22. “erectus-dickus!” said Harry, as he waved his wand at his noodly apendage with a look of disdain accross his face, but it was no use. “Hagrid?” harry called. “yes buttermuffin?” hagrid replied in a deeply sexual roar. “hagrid, i cant get it up..” harry sighed looking down at his limp and lifeless swizzle stick. “oh harry thats terrible” hagrid replied, “have you tried using a spell?” hagrid probed.
    “yes i have” harry revealed, “but nothing will work!, i am so frustrated, and hermoinie says she needs the satisfaction that only a real man can provide” harry sighed again. “how about we practice a bit” hagrid suggested to harry, who’s eyes lit up with glee at the prospect of learning from the master himself! “yes, that would be ever so helpful hagrid!” harry smiled, as he pulled down his pantaloons, immeadiately revealing what best resembled a strand of spaghetti.

    “oh i see the problem!” shouted hagrid! “you cant possibly expect to satisfy a woman’s sexual desires with that!” hagrid laughed. harry sighed, “what ever can i do hagrid?”. hagrid had an idea: “have alook at this harry” hagrid said as he flopped out his enormous, gargantuan, mammoth fat cock.

    “wow!” shouted harry in surprise! “now go get hermoine harry” hagrid, suggested. harry did.

    hagrid proceeded to pump the living daylights out of hermionie, as hermonie was screaming with pleasure! “oh hagrid you truly know how to satisfy a womans deep sexual needs”. “i sure do!” moaned hagrid, as he thrusted his fat cock in and out.
    “so hagrid,how does this help me?” asked harry.

    hagrid paused…. “i dont know harry,
    i dont know”

    “oh hagrid!” harry laughed! they both started to laugh as they disappeared into the sunset together, hermione still hanging of hagrids massive schlong.
    “i dont know”

    the end

  23. Hello i can blooog too,

    …..aparently you have time on your hands to listen in and critique movies in the afternoon.

    What other tricks do you do on the internet?

  24. I wasn’t in a market, pragmatic. I was at some benefit party with 3 beers to choose from. There was some kind of amber micro brew I didn’t like much, and Henry Weinheard’s which I haven’t had in years but I don’t remember it fondly, and PBR. So I got the cheapest and least obnoxious of the three. And nothing bad happened.

    And if I did particularly like the taste of PBR, it bewilders me that I’d be lectured constantly by beer experts that I may not like it. Why do they do that?

  25. nice picture. hot model.
    PBR is cheap beer and not surprisingly tastes like cheap beer to me. I am kind of envious of people who find it palatable.

  26. @48 Clearly you are not reading my language the way I intended. By “in the market” I mean to say “in search of”, as in you are looking or were looking for a light beer. But, as you were at some sort of party that appears to not be the case. In that case, why don’t you go for hard liquor? I would, unless that presented an even worse option list. In any case, I agree with charlie k @49, those that can enjoy PBR, and similar crappy cheap beer, are either very drunk or just lack taste in beer. It isn’t a negative judgment in your character. That’s the whole reason I was suggesting Roslyn, since it’s a tasty lager, and brewed locally, which I would think many people would enjoy, particularly in light of Alice Waters’ appearance on 60 minutes this weekend.

  27. @51: Based on personal experience, I would say that the deciding factor in being able to enjoy PBR is neither taste nor drunkenness, but tobacco.

    Cheap beer: Delicious with a cigarette.

    Cheap beer: By itself, usually pretty skunky.

  28. @52 Which is to say that you could be eating out a pit bull’s diarrhea filled ass and it would taste good with a cigarette, since it effectively kills all relevant taste sensation. I’ve had plenty of PBR in my day, and the only excuse I’ve had is that I was in college and either was drinking someone else’s beer, or I had literally few dollars to my name. Cheap beer has its place, for when you can’t afford something better. Otherwise, seek out which you prefer the taste of.

  29. @53: No, cigarettes don’t kill all relevant taste sensation, but they do decrease it. They also have the affect of highlighting certain elements of coffee and beer that are otherwise unavailable.

    But really, all I’m saying is that a lot of PBR-drinkers are also chainsmokers, so it really isn’t that much of a mystery.

  30. Funny coincidence. That party gave me the worst urge to take up smoking again. I actually had to get out of there for fear that I was going to bum a cigarette.

  31. Arguing about beer is like arguing about religion – everybody’s got their own brand they subscribe to and no amount of reasoned argument will change their minds.

  32. Glad my photo is evoking so much HATE HATE HATE =) I still love it .. and love all the views you’re all giving it.

    As pointed out the model is the lovely Rose and it was shot in Redmond, WA on a Yashica Mat 124G. Fuji Provia 400.. as stated on comment 29

    KJPHOTOS.com Its my new splash page photo for all the haters.. love kyle johnson

  33. P.S

    Whatโ€™s so wrong with being a hipster? Better that>> than a HATER!! WHAT UP HATERATION SEATTLE FOLK. Get with loving life for a change…it doesnโ€™t rain everywhere. Go peep some rays and than take another look at this image!

  34. HOOOLLLLYY SH*T This animosity is startling! Maybe everyone is jealous of Kyle’s awesome photo skills and Roses exotic beauty, but geez kids There is room for us all!
    Anyway, nice job on photo of the day Kyle! I want to buy you a green beer ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. The colors and the feeling of this image is fantastic her fist is perfect and gives the right kind of emotion. It is to bad for the people that have to pick apart a photo of this quality when they could just enjoy it. Every time you push the shutter you learn something new no matter how long you have been taking pictures and if you think you know everything then you should throw your camera away because you know nothing.

  36. this shot is sick. good composition. interesting subject matter.listen to the ignorant fucks belowif you want. i wouldnt. sounds like most most havent stopped breast feeding even tho the milks gone bad.

  37. attention petty haters:

    the model in this photo has already read your comments and has directed friends to the banality via a myspace bulletin. the verdict is in: you all suck. learn how to critique art properly. the internet has made everyone into Gene Siskel, but Gene Siskel died for a fucking reason.

  38. my dear hating bitches…LAY OFF..SHE’S MY FRIEND!! like it’s already been said, it’s just a picture! jealous, that’s what you are.

  39. Well, I think the faux lumberjack/hunter/I-live-at-the-Redwood look is definitely tired, boring etc, Rose on the other hand is without a doubt one of the most striking beauties in Seattle. The picture does her little justice – she certainly does not have a big nose.

    But I do love all the whining about hipsters. I can’t help but picture you all as in your 30’s, still wearing what was popular when you graduated, in 93, no longer getting attention from the opposite sex, and complaining good music died when the Cranberries broke up – congratulations, you’ve become your parents!

  40. In 10 years from now, people won’t remember hipster, or will be focusing on the next thing that they can hate on. Maybe you all hate hipsters so much because they bring out style, something that you probably don’t have. Rose is a sweet girl, and as a photographer myself, this is a great photo, and will still be great 30 years from now.

  41. Might be a little biased because she’s so sweet and so interesting and such a fully realized human being, but Rose probably is the most beautiful person in Seattle, and there are many other people that can attest to that. She’s 19, not 17, and when she walks into a room it’s like some goddess of old has landed. Cheesy as fuck, but true.
