The Burks Gang

Wanted: Members of the Burks Gang
A few months ago. my sister, Pam, her new husband Chris, and her four children came to visit us. For one afternoon, my apartment became an Old West movie set, and they donned various articles of western wear I have been collecting. Being a photographer, I could not resist taking a few “old time” photographs using the back of the front door as a background.
A little cropping, framing and other special effects created a long-lasting portrait of the Burks Gang. At least one of them is a lawman. Watch out for the girls, though. He could not arrest them all at the same time. Pam and Chris were able to find a way to get them in warp drive into the 21 century, and take them home - found, and still wanted.
