Summary: BEAUTIFUL!!!
Review: This book is a masterpiece! Everything about it is just plain beautiful. I can't believe that Hamilton ever had problems with these incredible pictures that he has taken. And that takes us back to what is art? and what is pornography? It seems that in this country, people tend to believe that if a girl is under the age of 18 and nude, it is pornography. Hamilton has proved them wrong. If it is legal for familys, which do in a lot of cases include young girls and teenage girls, to go to nudist colonies or be naturists, where they are nude three fourths of the time, why is it not right for someone to capture this beautiful lifestyle on film?

The female body, at any age is a very beautiful thing, and not many people will let themselves admit this. I find it especially beautiful when the girls are at the brink of womanhood, and there bodies are changing. Why is it so hard to find this stunning for people???

You will find portraits of everything in this book, from swimming, to sleeping, to just plain stand up posing for the camera. Also, this book includes other works of Hamilton. Works like nature etc.

In one word, this book is Beautiful, and so is Hamilton, for doing something that very few people can do. That is to realize that there is natural beauty in everyone, and he photographed it.

Summary: Absolutely stunning!!
Review: This is 'THE' Hamilton book to own! I have never seen anything so beautiful and classical as this before. Hamilton is a true master artist and this book shows the depths to which he explores his art. As one other reader said, when you see the pages of this book unfold before you, you feel as if you are entering a classical landscape of beauty and enchantment. The subject matter (young girls) is a heated topic, however the way Hamilton photographs each subject is a tribute to the eye of a master. There is nothing obscene or pornographic in the pages of this book. This is pure and innocent beauty from a period in life where everything is confusing and magical. The goal of any great photographer should be to show us the world we don't see, to show us what we have all around us but never stop to notice. Hamilton is a great photographer and his landscapes and nudes show us the erotic and mystical in our world.

Buy this book. It is worth every penny.

Summary: beauty beyond compare!
Review: This is definitely the most beautiful book from David Hamilton so far and among the greatest ever printed and to find it so easily available for so little money is really miracle. By looking at these beautiful photos you get the feeling that this book is coming from Victorian age when all the things seemed to be more innocent and pure. Don't think that you will find only nude photos of young girls here. There are many photographs of landscapes, beaches and cities which makes this book even more valuable and interesting. On the end of the book you can find many real-life photos of David Hamilton with his young models, the photos which clearly shows that no coercion and/or any kind of physical force is used to obtain these photographs as some people like to think.
Many people will find this book offending and I don't see the reason why.
On the end I want to say thank you, David Hamilton, for existing, for being able to see the beauty and for your selflessness sharing that with the rest of us. Please keep on doing what you do best. And thanks to Amazon.com for having this book. END

Rating: 5 stars
