Book Description

Cultural nostalgia is omnipresent as we enter the new millenium, and much of the looking back is focused on the 1970's. It was a time when being young and American meant a world of sexual freedom in an era untainted by AIDS. For photographer MArk Helfrich it was a time to not only explore these freedoms, but also to document them. In 'Naked Pictures Of My Ex-Girlfriends', Helfrich shares with us what most have hidden away or have long ago destroyed- intimate, private pictures of his ex-girlfriends, a decades worth from 1970 to 1980. Helfrich explains "...it was no big deal photographing my girlfriends topless or nude, almost all of them were thrilled to pose for me, because they knew I was so into it. It was fun. It was like playing a game. It was like living Antonioni's 'Blow Up." This collection of black & white and colour images is presented as a nostalgic diary from the carefree sexual seventies, a glimpse of a time and life many wish they could have lived.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Flip through this one at the bookstore, Jui 8 2003

Par Un client

I'd read a review of this book when it first came out, but there was no mention of it being fictitious. When I saw it in a bookstore, I browsed through it and was totally taken in, although a very distant voice in my head made me wonder how the author got permission from a couple of those women for his written comments about them. However I decided to see if I could get a cheaper copy online, and that's when I read that the pictures were recent and the stories fictional. If the book is indeed a hoax, then there is really no point in buying it if you're on any kind of book-budget at all. The pictures aren't particularly good because they are designed to mimic snapshots. And the stories, if fictional, are irrelevant.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Not understanding the backlash..., Avril 14 2003

Par	C. Berchild "berch" (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

While this is an interesting book, it's not a masterpiece in any sense. Having said that, I am confused by those who are writing reviews to decry this book as a fake (see a majority of the one-star reviews). Who cares if these are really his girlfriends? This is one person's attempt at art.

Flawed as it may be, it is still an attempt at art (which is short for artifice... a contrivance... aka a lie.) Do you go to the movies expecting to see the "truth?" Not me.

If you're interested in one man's experiment on the theme of relationships, this might be a great read. If you're turned on by the possibility of looking into a guy's past and living through him vicariously... move on. But don't base your reviews on whether or not this tale is real... hint: most aren't (even when billed as non-fiction).

5.0�toiles sur 5 Books stolen from my ex-boyfriend, Avril 7 2003

Par Un client

Saw my ex-boyfriend leaning by the "erotica" section of the bookstore and i thought, "Oh dear, what is he checking out now?". But once I took one look at this book, I knew we had to buy it. We were spending the night in a B&B and sat on the bed taking turns reading Helrich's comments about each of his ex's. This is a book that couples can share and maybe be inspired to take their own photos. Beware though, you too might end up in a book someday. Hoping there's a sequel.

Excellent book! I loved the "diary" like entries and the pics were very sexy. Worth the price, definitely.

This book is not, in fact, candid photos of ex girlfriends, but is actually posed photographs. That's fine, but I think buyers should know that Mark Helfrich was a child during... Read more
