Beautiful Things: Peter Beard. Photography and collage collide.

I had the chance to flip through Peter Beard's book in Taschen this afternoon (god forgive me for spending part of a Saturday at the Grove).Though I spotted it on my way out and only had a moment with it, I was captivated by the imagery. Nudes make me happy. Collage makes me happier. Beard's work does the trick on both counts.
