Description: "Friends, Enemies and Strangers is a book about the beauty and power Wasow finds in the people he knows, his desire to believe in the decency of those he doesn't know, and his despair at the lack of humanity in people in positions of power. Using images he's taken in his studio and found in flea markets and on the Internet, Wasow employs an array of post-production techniques to create a cast of characters that prompts us to reconsider not only the parameters of photographic portraiture but what we can know of human nature. The book includes an essay by Matthew Weinstein and a story by Rabih Alameddine."--Publisher's website, https://saint-lucy.com/shop/friends-enemies-and-strangers/, viewed August 14, 2018.
