Duane Michals has enthralled me for many years with his highly original take on the "world" of photography. It is about time that there is a wonderful compilation of some his most famous images. He gives depth to what is usually a one dimensional world (photography). His wit and sly way with double entendres and nuance are always FUN and funny and profoundly moving. He is to photography what David Hockney THINKS he is to the world of painting. Duane is the genuine article- a genius!!! Thank you so much for printing this book, is a good start. Need to start thinking about volume 2? While a lot of his images are related to attractive young men, he does not disinclude the sensual female form! His "essay" on the most sensual portions of the male and the female anatomy are funny, BUT, right TO the point, and real. PLEASE start working on volume 2!!!
