Guns in America
( More about event)
With what Picture magazine called "the grit of a true documentary photographer", Kyle Cassidy spent two years and 15,000 miles crisscrossing the country meeting American gun owners, photographing them in their homes and asking them all one question: “Why do you own a gun?” The Bernstein Gallery’s exhibition shows 37 photographs and interview quotes out of over 200, a collection that resulted in a book, Armed America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes, published by Krause books in 2007. This honest, sometimes quirky collection of images has been called "Riveting", by the Washington Post, "A fair picture of who owns guns" by Field and Stream, and won praise from outlets as diverse as WisconsinPublic Radio, the Library Journal, Penthouse, and Guns and Ammo.
