Before I delve into 'Time for Army' by Antoni Szczupal, I have to commend the photographer's testicular fortitude for staring down the business end of a semiautomatic weapon for not one, but two harrowing shots. I don't care if it's unloaded, that's just ballsy.
Shot choice aside, 'Time for Army' by Antoni Szczupal features the guerrilla version of 'GI Jane' sprawling on a rock getting her shot lined up, hiding under a tree limb and generally vamping. It's a dirty, edgy and gritty shoot with guns--what more could you want?
