The Homoerotic Photograph

Summary: Beautiful images!
Review: I first got this book as a present, and thought that it would be a picture book about beefy gym-bodied men with little substance. Upon reading and looking through the book, my impressions were quickly turned around. This book has a wonderful collection of pictures dating back to the 1800s that show how men have been portrayed by various photographers through the years. Some images are very striking and almost appalling, while others accentuate male form. The text that accompanies the pictures is very informative and critical, making the reader think while he looks upon the images. This is a book that I now enjoy returning to in order to see that the male body has so many possible portrayals. I was even impressed to see my own college professor's work in the book!!

Summary: WHERE'S CHARLTON HESTON?
Review: The photographs in this book are awe-inspiring,although I have one eensy-weensy complaint.Where were the Charlton Heston photographs?I've seen more photographs of him in man-to-man interaction that have been the very embodiment of homoeroticism than anyone else.He had a way of interacting with other man that was in my opinion akin to homosexual desire.
