Days 57 & 58 - TASCHEN
http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/books/sex/work/
facts/04408.htm
So, this is the story about Taschen that I was telling you about at the begining of this blog.
Here is the text from their site.
The New Erotic Photography
Hanson, Dian (ED)
Kroll, Eric
The most provocative modern image makers
"Imagine walking into a room filled with the world’s finest contemporary erotic photographers, each with a portfolio of his or her best work. As you browse the photographs they discuss inspiration, censorship, how to find models, and how to make a living capturing beautiful women on film and in pixels.
The New Erotic Photography is the room, and 82 photographers from 14 countries are the hosts of this intimate gathering. In this 608 page volume you will meet Ralph Gibson, Jan Saudek, Terry Richardson, Natacha Merritt, Petter Hegre, Richard Kern, Bob Carlos Clarke, Thomas Karsten and the many fresh new talents currently redefining eroticism. Playful, provocative and exuberantly sexy, these aren’t your granddad’s art nudes; this is The New Erotic Photography.
Photographers featured: Robert Adler, Werner Amann, Guido Argentini, Alethea Austin, Marc Baptiste, Daniel Bauer, Bruno Bisang, Lisa Boyle, Derek Caballero, Bob Carlos Clarke, Didier Carre, BT Charles, John Chilton, Robert Chouraqui, Jean Van Cleemput, Barney Cokeliss, Bob Coulter, Cristian Crisbasan, Yuri Dojc, Susan Egan, Andrew Einhorn, Alla Esipovich, Ivana Ford, Ed Fox, Peter Franck, Jody Frost, Perry Gallagher, Ralph Gibson, Steve Diet Goedde, Peter Gorman, Ludovic Goubet, James Graham, China Hamilton, Naomi Harris, Aaron Hawks, Petter Hegre, Mark Helfrich, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Mike James, Jive, Thomas Karsten, Richard Kern, Christine Kessler, Chas Ray Krider, Eric Kroll, Vlastimil Kula, Dennis Letbetter, Stefano Levi, Hervé Lewis, Kenn Lichtenwalter, Florian Lohmann, Ben Marcato, Olaf Martens, Natacha Merritt, Maki Miyashita, Craig Morey, Ken-ichi Murata, Dave Naz, Beatrice Neumann, Sakiko Nomura, David Perry, George Pitts, Collin Rae, Nicola Ranaldi, Terry Richardson, Markus Richter, Giovanni Sambuelli, Will Santillo, Jan Saudek, Joan Sinclair, Tony Stamolis, Julie Strain-Eastman, Missy Suicide, Brian Sullivan, Jeremy Thompson, Rebecca Tillett, Larry Utley, Mariano Vargas, Yasuji Watanabe, Ben Westwood, Michael White, Chip Willis."
The editors: Dian Hanson began her publishing career at Puritan magazine in 1976 and went on to edit a variety of adult titles, like Partner, Oui, Hooker, Juggs and Leg Show magazines. Most recently, she authored TASCHEN’S The History of Girly Magazines, Tom Poulton: The Secret Art of an English Gentleman and The Big Book of Breasts.
Eric Kroll has worked as a photojournalist for the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and Vogue, but is best known for his fetish photography appearing in magazines such as Leg Show and High Heeled Women, and for his TASCHEN monographs Fetish Girls and Beauty Parade. As a TASCHEN editor, he most recently edited The Wonderful World of Bill Ward.
Thanks Dian, Eric & whole Taschen team!

Days 43 & 44 - A gift from a friend
I was outside washing my car. It was a splendid autumn afternoon, with a red dramatic sky over the forest. Coming back in house, checking my mail... a mail announcing me about a gift. A precious gift.
Usually, gifts are made by friends to friends. But this gift was given to me by somebody I hardly know as a person. I know his artistic work and this is enough to consider him my "art-friend". But him? He made this gift to me. I must tell you that this is one of the fewest gifts of this kind received in my life... He did it simply because he likes my work. True friendship.
So, I added a link to his Flickr page on my blog. And I will put here some of the images created by him. His name is BRETT WALKER. Thank you Brett, once again. And I am sure we will drink a beer sometime soon in London.
The first image above this text (the man smoking) is a portrait of Brett made by John Gladdy.
