Class Pictures
is a 2008 Quick Pics for Reluctant Readers. This is a collection of portraits that photographer Dawoud Bey took of a diverse group of teenage students. Each large scale photo has the student's autobiographical statements. He spend two to three weeks in a selected school taking photographs. The book ends with an interview between Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems, an ex-student of Bey's.
I thought this was much like a year-book without the autobiographies. It is not my type of book but I guess teenagers will enjoy reading about other teenagers. It could also be used as a reference in a photography class.
