<DIV><DIV>The first book of one of the most successful American photographers of the male nude, this collection is culled from more than 30 years of the artist's portraiture of his friends and lovers, highlighting images from his private archive. Regarded by the artist as his most personal and important work, this array combines intimate pictures with handwritten short stories, describing Bianchi's relations and demonstrating his talents as both a writer and a photographer.</DIV></DIV>
