Summary: This man needs to edit
Comment: There are some great photos in here and then some so-so ones. I found that flipping through this book became boring. After a while, seeing the same woman with her legs around her ears starts to get old. I guess that's what marriage is all about, but I'm not married to her. My real complaint is the over abundance of simaler images. Some of these pictures are better than the others. She's a beautiful woman, but less is more.

Summary: they do have a cat.
Comment: Its an interesting book with a certain sense of voyeurism, as if one is viewing private photographs belonging to someone else. This is probably so because many of the images display a snapshot quality; which in itself may not be a bad thing. However, I'm not convinced that all the photographs in this book were taken with cameras worth $100 or less as the author claims, especially when the model is holding a $1800 medium format camera in one of the shots. I also did not find much merit in the three nipple shot.

This book may or may not float your boat. For me, it has required me to reconsider at how I delineate the lines between ponography and artistic commentary and and ultimately, good taste.

Summary: Just 1000 Words?
Comment: What do you get when a competent photographer marries an attractive lady and both share an European morality as it pertains to sex? Well for any who are in an intimate relationship with another person who doesn't require being periodically filled with air, some of these images are very familiar (maybe too familiar) in a post-polaroid age of digital photography. Petter Hegre has just about raised the bar as high as it goes in terms of this subject matter and his wife must be viewed as co-artist in the very least. Whatever Hegre's intent, the resulting response from this work would be understated as being provocative. One underlying question which stands above others is this: are these images and behavior depicted natural to all the parties or are they staged for the camera? I really don't buy into Hegre's explanation that 'this is the way my wife is.' Another issue for questioning is when does the private cease to be private? If made public, as Hegre does, then it is no longer private. Is this an invasion, an invitation to similar behavior, or simply 'I can do better porn that the pornographers?' If the mind had a camera attached, I'm sure many of us have similar images recorded and Hegre's work may keep our attention by it's familiarity, but, that familiarity can also be turned to contempt as easily as acknowledgement. My 3-stars are for effort and provocative content, but also for this book's nature being such it should not be shelved in a prominent place in the home.
