Lot Essay

Inscription in the photographer's hand: 'Young Friend at Ellie Dorfman's House, Saturday Night, February 2 1985, 603 Frontier Street, Cambridge, Mass. I asked him to hold still for Hand Held Camera, New Rolfix. This was the first naked model I tried to photograph since taking myself seriously as a photographer.'
