Stunning!

Having bought Jock's other 2 book's first, I felt I needed to buy this one. I sure Love this book more than his other 2. It's sheer class! Jock is in another league, compared to Sally Mann, & David Hamilton. Though I love there book's too, This is the best of it's kind available though! I hear that Jock is working on a new book, which is going to be quite differant to all his currant one's! Well, I can't wait!

Excellent, beautiful, and thoughtful

After viewing this book several times I believe I have come to understand what the photogrpaher is doing. Seeing the models progress in age and maturity is both exciting and thought provoking. The poses gently force the viewer to see the models as real people verses just bodies or shapes. They, (the models), are there because they want to be there. Their beauty is self evident and the viewer can almost hear their voices saying, "here I am; deal with it world!" The fact that many of the models are nude only makes the voices seem louder and more forceful. How brave of the models and the photographer to stay with their vision in a mad world. Also, after viewing the photographs; I can only view their critics as small minded, misguided, book burning, insecure fanatics uncomfortable with themselves and their own bodies and emotions. God created beauty and Jock Sturges photographed it as only a master could, in all it's beauty.

Beauty in it's purest form

It took me 6 hours to intialy read through this book. The photographs inside are breath-taking. This book portrays the purest form of beauty and innocence I have ever seen. And gives new meaning to the word art.

Terrific Technique - Questionable Sales Locations

It is clear that the photography of this book is both artistic and extraordinary. The photos are tremendous, and certainly more disarming than alarming. Yet I wouldn't be caught dead continuing to own this book. The subject matter goes so extremely far against the grain of culture, of my town, that my friends would certainly think the owner of this book a potentially dangerous member of society. This is a five star book - but sales of it are inappropriate in my small town.

I enjoyed the simpleness of the pictures

I happened upon the book this weekend while browsing the photography section of my local book store. I enjoyed the simpleness of the pictures and I hope some day Jock will create a similar book using families of color. I think this book would be a great book for children of color to learn to appreciate their bodies and not be ashamed of God's work.
