Gun and Knife, 1976. These two black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to which film roll they came from. Each of these groups will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images. The images in group "a" show a gloved hand holding a pistol. Image 44a shows the hand pointing the pistol toward the left-hand side of the image frame. Images 1a and 2a are nearly identical to image 44a. Image 3a shows the hand holding the pistol, but the wrist is turned in. The gun is pointing toward the camera. Image 4a is nearly identical to image 3a.
The images in group "b" show a gloved hand holding a switchblade. Image 43b shows the knife pointed toward the left-hand side of the image frame, and the back of the hand oriented toward the top of the image frame. Images 44b and 1b are nearly identical to image 43b. Image 2b is very similar to the previous three images, but here the back of the hand is oriented toward the camera.
Printed in alternation along one long edge of both of these film negative strips is "KODAK SAFETY FILM" and "KODAK TRI X PAN FILM."Made/Created
