518    Originally produced by Checkerboard Film Foundation in 
       2002. 
520    For more than forty years, Ralph Gibson has served as one 
       of the few truly independent forces within the field of 
       photography. His unique graphic style "" stark, erotic, 
       chaste, allusive, surreal "" is as unmistakable as it is 
       influential. His many-published books have shown 
       generations of photographers in the U.S. and Europe that 
       the bound-printed page can be as powerful a strategy for 
       artistic success as the gallery exhibition. In this film 
       biography, Gibson is very much the star of his own life as
       he discusses his colorful childhood in Los Angeles as an 
       extra in Hollywood movies, his stints in the U.S. Navy, 
       his time as an assistant to Dorothea Lange, as well as his
       lean, wayward years in New York. Friends and admirers, 
       including Mary Ellen Mark and Larry Clark, analyze the 
       impact of his early work, especially his first landmark 
       book SOMNAMBULIST (1970) on the photography scene at the 
       time. Commentary by Eric Fischl, April Gornik, and Brian 
       Hunt reinforces the echoing importance of Gibson's work 
       beyond the shores of photography. Best of all, Gibson is 
       forthcoming about the process of his own thinking at every
       stage: why and how he shoots, and what he shoots; the 
       editorial decisions that dictate the laying-out and 
       putting-together of spreads in a book; the role of his 
       various muses; and the crucial point at which he knows if 
       a body of work is or is not complete. Rich in insights 
       into the history of Gibson's vast and diverse oeuvre, this
       biography is also a master class with a world-class 
       photographer.
