COMIN' AT YA! : THE HOMOEROTIC 3-D PHOTOGRAPHS OF DENNY DENFIELD

Vancouver BC: Arsenal Pump Press, 2007. Spiral-bound. Very Good. Included 3-D glasses are in unopened plastic case. 8 in. x 10.5 in., pp. 208. Illustrated with full-page "stereo-view" color photographs. Paper pictorial boards wrapped around spiral spine. Light rubbing to fore-edge of front cover and bottom of spine. Upper corner pages lightly bumped. From the cover: AN AMAZING COLLECTION of full-color erotic 3-D photographs of men taken during the 1950s by Denny Denfield, an amateur physique photographer in California. Denfield's photographs, never distributed publicly while Denfield was alive, display a skill, wit, and daring rarely seen, and with their rich Kodachrome colors and mid-century decors, can now be appreciated for their rogueish, almost naïve charm. The accompanying narrative by David L. Chapman, from whose own private collection these photographs appear, sheds fascinating light on Denfield's secret life and work. And a narrative by Thomas Waugh places Denfield's work in the historical context of homoerotic photography over the last century. The 3-D photographs are comprised of dual images which "come alive" when viewed through the 3-D glasses, supplied with the book. As a result, Comin' at Ya! is fun, sexy, and historically fascinating.
