A Sky-High Flight of Imagination When a photographer's imagination really soars, a book like this one is created. Imagine posing live models like museum statues, and transforming their photographs back into statues Then, place them in exotic digital backgrounds. The result is 240 genuinely stunning photographs in a coffee table book that will deliver many hours of enchanting viewing. Living Nude Statues began as a search for great poses for models. Naturally, the most admired poses are found in museums, so photos of nude female statues from museums around the world were used as posing guides. With this collection of statue poses to use with the models, wonderful images were created. Then, a question arose: what it would be like to turn these photographs of models in statue poses back into statues again, using photo manipulation techniques? By teaming up with a photographer who has exceptional Photoshop skills, wondering became wonderment at the results. The twelve professional models featured in this volume are from the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. Each model is featured on twenty pages in the book. Each set of photographs is shown on facing pages with the studio shot on the left and its transformation into a statue on the right.

This album includes sixteen professional models with eight photographs each (128 photographs). The models are from Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. George Arthur Lareau produces these surreal bodyscapes with two pinhole cameras. Pinhole cameras have no lens, just a tiny pinhole. Pinholes were the first cameras, marking the beginning of photography. In the studio, the amount of light required to make an exposure is very high, requiring him to use a powerful flash unit. Pinholes are also challenging to use because he has to imagine his photos (no viewfinders) and blending images is somewhat unpredictable. Lareau bought his two pinhole cameras as toys, but then became fascinated with the results they give him. There is no lens so there is no color correction. Everything is in focus because of the great depth of field. This led him to choose pinholes for his bodyscape projects. Lareau developed his unusual style for bodyscapes some thirty years ago, using students from the University of Illinois as models. Finding his own vision for that series of bodyscape photographs was a four-year endeavor, and today he continues to probe new visions with his pinhole cameras.

Lareau's fiction is both irreverent and mystical. Whether he draws his material from the gutters of life or from flights of imaginative fancy, he strikes his reader with one hammering wake-up call after another. He is a surviving Boston beatnik, a new paradigm metaphysician, a photographic artist, and an author in many genres including consciousness theory, poetry, drama, photography and business. Not a prolific producer in any single genre, he instead applies his genius to a very broad spectrum, chasing his inquisitiveness with reckless abandon. His writing is sometimes reminiscent of Bukowsky.

This little book guides young people through the process of straightening out their messed up thinking about what is true, about who they really are, about their general purpose in life, about their place in the universe, and about the nature of reality. It is based on the scientifically accurate teachings of Sufi George, an American new paradigm metaphysician who cuts straight through the hypocritical claptrap of common thinking to deliver a crisp and clear concept of oneself as a pure and natural being. The book is short and friendly and can be easily read while taking a walk. Sufi George has tens of thousands of readers around the world and is regarded as a Sufi master.

This revealing personal journal exposes the emotional tribulations of a man coping with the extremes of his wife's MPD behaviors. Rebecca was eventually diagnosed not only as a victim of multiple personality disorder, but as the host for 44 separate personalities, probably a record. This journal is not pleasant reading. It is the shocking and heart-wrenching first-hand account of a man driven nearly to madness by his dedication to and love for his wife. Rebecca had been in mental hospitals five times when she met George, and had been given five different diagnoses, none of which was multiple personality disorder. She had not finished high school, had divorced after giving her son up for adoption, and was living in a half-way house. It was only after their first year-and-a-half together that they suspected what her problem actually was, and her diagnosis by the state's leading expert at Massachusetts General Hospital made it a devastating reality. For seven years, George Arthur Lareau battled between his deep love for Rebecca and the tortuous experiences he suffered from their tumultuous relationship.

This collection is an intimate chronicle of one American life. Yet, it reflects the rapidly changing and endlessly varied American experience itself during the latter half of the 20th Century. Searching to understand himself and his times, George Arthur Lareau plunges into the waters of art, mysticism, business and love, documenting his experience in poetic form. Lareau is probably the last surviving Boston beatnink poet. His poetry readings were popular in Boston beatnik coffee houses. He gave readings at Harvard University and at his alma mater McKendree University, among other venues.
