L.A. Boys Hardcover – March 1, 2006

This books has pictures of young men in various states of undress, and nude. They all appear, and are, of legal age 18. I am impressed with the photographer's style, skill, and finesse. Who wouldn't enjoy seeing young men from Los Angeles, CA? If you enjoy photography of young men, this would be a good purchase for you.

First there was FIRST EXPOSURE, then WHITE BOYS and now L. A. BOYS as Sam Carson continues to publish photograph after photograph of the approximately 5,000 amateur models that, according to his biographical blurb, he has shot. As we have come to expect from previous volumes, the young men are comely, young and always photographed in flattering light. Some of them are in briefs while others are in their unadorned glory. Most of them are shot from the front; far too many of them from the rear. Many of them are smiling. But why wouldn't they? They are young, have perfect bodies and-- at these young ages-- believe they will never die.Mr. Carson opens this collection with a quotation from Shakespeare. Perhaps he should have quoted George Bernard Shaw who said that it is a shame that youth is wasted on young people.My first edition of FIRST EXPOSURE is now worth some bucks. You should grab a copy of this new volume and hold on to it.
