"Mermaids" is Michael Dweck's knockout, lavishly produced follow-up to "the End": in which "drawing inspiration from his teenage years spent by the beach on Long Island, Michael Dweck set out to photographically capture the vanishing surf culture of Montauk, a sleepy fishing village that in the 1970s became a heaven for East Coast surfers". For his second book, the photographer "explores the theme of the female nude submerged in water, and celebrates the modern mermaid, as represented by beautiful young women who appear very much at home in the water". A pristine copy of this stunning tome still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 0-9818465-0-5 Inventory Number: 021079
