A charming, abbreviated view of those transitional years between youth and manhood. In forty-eight rich duotones and color snapshots, Bruce Weber manages to convey a hint of the emotional turbulence, but ultimate happiness, of those pivotal years. From young churchgoers to wrestlers to cadets on the edge of maturity, Weber's signature style unites all to create an illusion that is at once appealing and believable.
