, like its' predecessor , features an array of beautifully builtreal men! These men are au naturel, mostly unshaven or bearded, naked,men as they are meant to be, at times dirty after a day's toil, figures in repose, asleep, bathing, washing, being playful with each other, and with the reader, or just inhabiting the many hauntingly beautiful landscapes in the book.

It is difficult to imagine a more genuinely magnificent collection of men unfettered by contemporary distractions or self-conscious falseness . This is the beauty of Paul Freeman's work - honest, celebratory, and deeply appreciative of man in his natural state. This monograph is a remarkable artistic achievement by one of our most important photographic artists.
