Contact High (Richard Kern , Jesse Pearson)

Picturebox Inc.: Contact High harkens back to the halcyon days of photographer and filmmaker Richard Kern's youth. It couldn't have a simpler premise, as the subtitle puts it, it's all about ""naked girls smoking weed."" This cheeky and playful collection of portraits recalls a time in Kern's life when,he says, ""Back then, when I was around a naked girl, weed was either about to be smoked or had been smoked."" Readers will undoubtedly get a real buzz from the beauty and sensuality of the images, perhaps tinged with a bittersweet hint of nostalgia for the sexy abandon of their youth.
