David Vance's TIMELESS is quite a mixed bag. On the one hand, the book's quality is astonishing. The pages are beautiful and crisp; the quality of the black-and-white photo-transfer is beyond words.
Yet the images are exceedingly uninspired and become, after a while, quite repetitive. In my opinion, the cover photograph is the best; kudos to the publishers for placing it on the dust-jacket.
The men captured by Vance in these photos are indeed beautiful; almost all are fully- or semi-naked: the poses (as well as facial expressions), however, do not tend to range, and soon become tedious to look at.
Nothing special or overwhelming in terms of Vance's artistic vision (some of the images are actually rather kitschy); but a nice coffee-table book nonetheless.
