Strange Stories: The Photography of Gerald Davis Details
Review "The images in 'Strange Stories' make a strong case for Gerald Davis as a unique and under-recognized talent, a keen observer of mid to late twentieth-century American life with a wry, playful sensibility that falls somewhere between William Eggleston and John Waters." ―The Paris Review'"Davis had an eye for photographing the world in its often-brazen glory.
