More photos by Karlie Fox of Karlie Fox Photography. My lovely Pennsylvania longrifle and I (and maybe my trapper pistol) will have the honor of being painted by Americana artist Dave Hasler in the coming months.
A moment of self-awareness: I am not in love with the way I look in every one of these photos, because we are such harsh critics of ourselves, but the composition is beautiful in every one (and DeerSlayer always looks amazing). It is interesting to see which shots Karlie chose to keep, and it will be equally interesting to see what components of each Dave chooses to paint - it’s like seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes and what they find beautiful about you. That is a gift, I think, that we don’t let ourselves have often enough.
