It is a world of good-looking model boys, that are innocent yet sensual, and they have been immortalized by Mark Twain, and celebrated by the famous photographers such as Bruce Weber and Greg Gorman. Now we have Luke Smalley who takes it a step further. He has spent 10 years recreating these athletic images of an innocent and bygone era that was once called All American, way before the nation lost its innocence. This is an outstanding collection of teenage athletes, residents of Pennsylvania towns, who Smalley has posed throwing footballs, wrestling, leaping over hurdles and performing gymnastics. That Twin Palms published this book for Smalley is an added bonus, for it is beautifully designed and bound. The black and white photos are superbly reproduced here.
Smalley has accomplished what he set out to do, capturing the innocence of youth, a vision of the past, and the masculine youthful beauty of young men at the peak of their athletic ability. This is an outstanding book that should be on every collectors list!
