Synopsis

Where others would look away or change the side of the street, Charles Gatewood pulls out his camera and shoots his subjects, from William S. Burroughs to drunken revelers and modern blood drinkers, like a war photographer. Never putting his camera down, always finding the story. His most famous, but also most provocative pictures are definitely the ones he shot in American cities of the 70s and early 80s. Documenting the modern primitve and tattoo scene, his images capture a rich world made by the kind of characters your mother warned you about - and that you secretly wanted to become.

About this title

Review:

"True art has always involved a magical reordering of reality and an invocation of strong primal energies. Tattoos are the kind of art that is deep. Powerful and magical. Practiced consciously, tattooing can change our thinking, decorate our bodies - and indeed, shake our souls." Charles Gatewood

"Gatewood the sidetripping photographer takes what the walker didn't quite see, something deja vu back in front of his eyes.The photo has precipitated an erasure failure film flakes falling now he sees something he did not see before since it was marginal to his scanning pattern." William S.Burrough

"Gatewood's world is freakish, earthy, blunt erotic - most of all terribly and beautifully alive." -- A.D. Coleman, The New York Times

"Gatewood's world is freakish, earthy, blunt, erotic and most terribly and beautifully alive." -- A.D. Coleman, NYT
