Wanna party? Not with a ten foot pole!!!!!!!!
This facinating volume of amatuer photography taken in the brothels of 1970's Boystown in Mexico asks far more questions than it answers. Yet even the most voyueristic among us probably wouldn't want the answers to most of the questions posed by these pictures. You may need a shower and a breath mint by the time you are done reading/gazing at this tome! I want to highly reccommend this book, ...

Help Keith Get a Engine and buy this book
This is a great collection of images from his books...I have it on good authority that Keith has a speedboat and can't afford the motor. He has the captain's hat, blue blazer, white pants, and a red sparkled speedboat with no motor. If you buy all of his books, Keith can go boating on the water instead of his driveway. His lips are swollen from making that motorboat sound. His wife is tired of ...

For the Love of Gus

University of Texas Press, 2004

Images of a way of life now gone . . .
This fine collection of 90+ sepia-tinted photographs was taken in the years 1970-1973 by American photographer Bill Wittliff on a ranch in northern Mexico where the vaquero traditions inherited by American cowboys still survived almost unchanged by the 20th century. Most of the photographs show the vaqueros working cattle and horses. Some show them around the morning campfire, their bedrolls ...
