Richard: As mentioned in the PDN & ProBizForum, Jill was on assignment to create a portrait for use in the magazine. During that shoot, she had the idea to shoot him in a different light, subversively, and for her own reasons. The Atlantic was looking to portray him in a more positive light than what Ms. Greenberg had in mind for her own evil capture.

Same difference. Guns kill.

Not being familiar with The Atlantic, are they considered a news publication? From reading what’s been going on, I’d figured they were an entertainment magazine and thus could take creative liberties.

Thanks guys for the correction.

My bad; in haste I wrote “…holding a ‘machine gun’” above. I was rushed and distracted by wrastling kids to do homework. Truth is I was ranked as an NRA Marksman as a teen, so yes, I do recognize it as a rifle, and not a machine gun.

Geez do any of you people know what a machine gun looks like? That thing in her hands is a air rifle, aka bee-bee gun

That’s not a machine gun in the photo, it’s a rifle. It doesn’t look even remotely like a machine gun.

I noticed that in the interview “Naomi” sure got defensive when the subject of someone misappropriating _her_ work (as a writer) came up.
