"The display of the male body has been fraught with significance for centuries.... yet the male body remains controversial, especially in photography. As I See It stands out for its human focus.... In this most recent book, Gorman portrays the male body without stripping it bare of power or poignance. It's a new approach to and old, old idea." —American Photo
