From Friedman's series "Pleasures and Terrors of Kissing." You can see more of the work at Fraction Magazine (Issue 7), and there's an interview with the photographer at Michael Werner's Two Way Lens. There's a lot going on in a number of these pictures, you you might want to stave off closure just a tad longer than usual.

Remarkable! I wish I could see wide-angle like that. And thanks for the link to FractionMag!

Interesting and quirky, especially those with multiple elements present. I, too, enjoyed John Brinton Hogan's portfolio in the same issue. There's several other portfolios listed in the past issues that look interesting.

I very much enjoyed this fellow's work. Unusual and often fascinatingly theatrical scenes that serve as exhibit A in the thesis: Gesture is everything.
Thanks also for pointing out this "Fraction Magazine". I certainly would never have found it on my own.
Side note: Only three comments on a photography subject, but nearly 100 comments on a yet-to-be-announced camera? OK.
