At Ease: Navy Men of World War II

by: Evan Bachner, Wayne Miller (Photographer), Horace Bristol (Photographer), Victor Jorgensen (Photographer), Barrett Gallagher (Photographer)
This is a beautiful book which gives a look into the lives of the men of WWII. This is NOT a homoerotic book, these are NOT homoerotic photographs. This is how men were before we became afraid to show affection, before we had to be afraid of every move we made. These are basically boys who grew up on farms and in cities all over America who found themselves on ships in the South Pacific. If your father didn't bring home pictures like this from WWII or if they have become lost, here is a good opportunity to see how life was like on the ships, for America's Greatest Generation.

Horace Bristol

by: K. Conner, Heimerdinger
This beautiful and striking monograph, the first major publication of Horace Bristol's work, pays homage to his genius with over 100 exquisitely reproduced duotone images. In the tradition of the great populists Alfred Eisenstadt and Dorothea Lange, Horace Bristol used his camera to record human, intimate moments: from poignant images of migrant farm workers during the Depression (his photographs inspired Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath) to compelling portraits of post-war Japan and Southeast Asia.

Stories from Life: The Photography of Horace Bristol

by: Horace Bristol
A true life "Forrest Gump." The forgotten man behind the camera. His life story is amazing and his photographs glorious. Everyone has read the "Grapes of Wrath" he may be why we know the story.

Horace Bristol was one of the first photographers for LIFE magazine and in WWII he documented the war for the U.S. Navy. He had the amazing ability to be in the right place at the right time.
