I promise, I'm not reading books in order to get a free personal pan pizza.
Yesterday I started Self-Made Man. Today, I finished it. I know! It really was a quick read (of course, giving it 2.5 hours of a 4.5 hour flight didn't hurt any.)
Unfortunately, the book followed this format for each of its main chapters: Vincent infiltrates group x, writes about group x and members y and z, reveals she is a woman to group and/or members. That was it. It felt a little simplistic in that regard.
I would have liked to have read more details about her relationships and what it felt like for her. These topics are covered but not in any great length. I'm also really curious about what her wife thought about all this, and how this impacted her mental and psychological states during the experiment (we do get a wrap-up of sorts on this.)
There's nothing too deep here, I'm afraid. There are some nice insights relating to men's emotions. Still, I recommend it.
Those of you "in the know" might know that one of my photographs was scheduled to be printed in a book, Communicating with Pattern: Stripes. I got the book today and was thrilled to find that seven (!) of my photos are featured in the book!
The book itself is a really nice, inspirational design book. Lots of good stuff here and I'm honored to be amongst other great photographers.
Go get a copy!
This morning I received a letter on a subject I'd long forgotten about: one of my photos is being published in Communicating with Pattern: Stripes, a book compiled in part by Keith Stephenson.
Keith contacted me a while ago and asked me if I was interested in contributing. What else could I say?
The book comes out in August (though Amazon claims September), so keep your eyes peeled.
