THE BOYS - Rick Schatzberg
When two old friends died unexpectedly, Rick Schatzberg spent the next two years photographing the remaining group of a dozen men. Now in their 67th year, they had been close since early childhood. Schatzberg has collected old photos that tell the story of this shared history, and uses them to present each individual as they are today. These are combined with large-format portraits that link the boy to the man. By mixing text with these images, Schatzberg depicts friendship, aging, loss and memory as the group reaches the threshold of old age.
The Boys juxtaposes elements of place, personal history and identity. The people and places described are a specific product of the American suburban landscape of the mid-20th century, but the book's themes are radically universal; text by Rick Moody "On Rick Schatzberg's The Boys" in a separate booklet, color photos.
