Subject: [Leica] books for christmas

If you want a challenge, try Nobuyoshi Araki. His work is simplistic and has 
a Japanese flavour which I find sort of "comical" or "juvenile", but like a 
Mapplethorpe, his eye is interesting. The "sex" images are not as 
confronting even if they are somewhat explicit: I'm still wondering why my 
mother bought it for us for christmas, but perhaps she was really running 
out of ideas ;-) Interesting, but I would not have spent that much on it 
without good reason.
