Guerillas #3

The close-cropped face of a battle-scarred chimpanzee — amber eyes steady, expression unnerving in its calm — dominates this third installment of Brahm Revel's Vietnam-era series from Image. Every line of that weathered, scarred face suggests hard experience, and the warm amber gradient behind him only intensifies the quiet intensity of the image. Guerillas #3 of 9 makes a compelling case that this nine-part series has something genuinely distinctive to offer.
