What I'm Reading Lately, part B

This book of male photography from the late 1800's through the mid-1900's is an interesting juxtaposition from my post of last week. "Picturing Men: A Century of Male Relationships in Everyday American Photography" by John Ibson grew out of decades of Mr. Ibson's personal obsession with the genre. Here in our dozens and dozens of photos of men together. The images run the gamut: men at war, at play, in clubs, in dorms, in the outdoors, in studios; some express machismo, some camaraderie, and some tenderness and devotion. For any fan of male photography, it's a must have.
