I
n the old warehouse district of the West Bottoms I found this oversized weapon replica hanging out over a doorway. I am not sure what it signifies or why it was placed here, but I do appreciate the odd and disquieting visual opportunity presented. I shot it from several different viewpoints and feel this version is the most successful in conveying the incongruity of the scene.
