As they say, the only difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys. Barry, however, might argue that his collection does not constitute toys, as the many tools in his workshop can certainly come in handy for fixing things around the house. During the time in which I was shooting Barry and his tools, he was concentrating on passing his testing to get into the police academy. With that in mind, I chose to have Barry hold two of his favorite "toys" in such a fashion that suggests he's shooting at the viewer. There is also an underlying message, which is meant to convey that Barry does not want to share his "toys." I would venture to say that most men feel that way about their tool collections - they don't want to lend anything out for fear that it will never be returned.
