Having just finished a book on masculinity in the Reformation, pics like this would really have made the book so much easier to write.

Chapter One: I, Luther, still live! Luther as Virile Monk and Godly Hero.
I use sixteenth century images of Luther to explore how he managed and finessed his public persona to project a vision of himself as godly and manly.

This is Cecil. He is both a friend of mine and a hero. We talked cameras a lot. He was always quiet about the hero he is. In the days ahead, we all need to be more like him. Cecil Williams. 1956. Photographer. Documentarian. Hero.
