I first noticed photos by Ryan McGinley a year ago at the “Americans” exhibition at the Kunsthalle in Vienna. There is something about his photos that I can relate to and that makes me think, even though (or maybe because) they’re often pretty provoking. Just can’t get those shots out of my mind.

In the summer of 2007 McGinley took to the road with 16 models. Collaborating with his troupe and looking at inspiration from 60s and 70s nudist magazines, they shot an incredible 4000 rolls of film. McGinley has culled the 150,000 pictures created down to the 50 achingly brilliant photos that make up “I Know Where the Summer Goes�. from shapeandcolour.wordpress.com

The first edition of the Austrian Vice Magazine had a photo of that series on the cover.
