A Parker Miracle: Blooding a BHE 20

[Brett Trimble]

Mr. Gordon,

Congratulations on a great gun and its first outing!

I really appreciate your lovely photos. If you’re interested, it’s possible to make them look like paintings or drawings using editing tools.. Here are a couple of examples. These were done in the BeCasso tool.

All the best,
Brett

Thanks, Brett! I appreciate your taking time to create those images and share them. It is indeed pretty amazing what can be done by almost anyone with these new digital editing programs.

I must admit a bias toward works created by hand, much like hand engraving on a gun vs. the laser version. My background and education is as an artist, so I hope you'll understand and excuse my bias. I know many folks like image fidelity and detail, but mood and feeling -- the gist of things -- is more important to me.
