Photographs by Luke Smalley
TWIN PALM PUBLISHERS

SUNDAY DRIVE, Jack Woody's posthumous book of photographs by the late LUKE SMALLEY, continues Smalley's journey for truth inside the lives of small town youth. "This poignant photo novella tells the story of consequence when innocence takes a wrong turn. As in his past volumes, humor pervades: the boys' sobering plight as inmates in the state prison juxtaposed at Smalley's bemusement of the girls' preoccupation of what to wear." Classically Smalley.
EXHIBITION AND BOOK LAUNCH. NOV 5. 6-8 PM
521 West 25 Street NYC

Interesting work. Well done. But, seems contrived, I don't believe the story. The characters look like models. Is this a fashion shoot?

I like the photograph of the girl sitting at the edge of the curb - such a dichotomy between the pretty white dress and the huge fence and guard tower behind her.

Amazing.

Jack showed up last night about fifteen minutes after I saw you! Did you catch him? Brian C.

He came in just as I was leaving the building! Very successful exhibition, soooo crowded!
