Synopsis
13 YEARS OF BONDAGE: The Photography of Rick Castro is a handsomely produced and stimulating collection of duotone plates by photographer/filmmaker Rick Castro.
This hardcover monograph consists features 105 images- primarily male nudes - most in bondage or in a fetishized context.
Those familiar with Castro's evocative erotic images can attest to their celebration of the whimsical, passionate and essentially fluid nature of desire. Street hustlers from Los Angeles' famed Santa Monica Boulevard, intricately bound with leather and rope, and being the primary subjects of Castro's lens since the early 90s, populate a good part of this volume. Castro has taken these "unsung, decadent idols" from the street and portrayed them to reflect his vision. 13 YEARS OF BONDAGE takes us on an aesthetic, cultural and social journey through a "road-less-travelled" in contemporary sexual culture. Castro's images not only challenge, but offers a gaze that celebrates all kinds of sensuality.

Issued as part of a first edition limited to 3000 copies (per rear colophon) INSCRIBED, DATED, AND SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER TO LADY GAGA. Unpaged - 128 pages (per OCLC). Hardcover: H 26.25cm x L 18.5cm. No slipcase nor dust jacket. Pictorial boards rubbed; light streak of white discoloration at rear board's lower left; bumping at spine ends and adjacent board corners; front board's bottom fore-edge corner scuffed. A few spots of soiling to text block edges. Photographer's six-line black felt tip ink inscription "to | Lady Gaga, | Will you model | for me? | Rick Castro | 11/20/2009" on front free endpaper. Interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. A very good copy. The book was acquired from a cleanout sale by Billy Brasfield (makeup artist Billy B) from his Aberdeen, Mississippi property in June 2022. Billy B was Lady Gaga's makeup artist from 2009-2011. Speculatively it seems that Billy B was presented the book from Castro but Billy B decided that the inscription was an improper solicitation (rather than an appropriate salutation) and the book quite likely never reached Lady Gaga. {Photo-Shelf#2} ISBN 0967212944.
