...dead, and I know this in my dream, and I just wanted to look at their towels, because the towels were great - we wrapped up in them as children and did dances. I open the closet and in the back, there's a lovely, sepia-toned eight-by-ten photograph of a man. And for some reason, in the dream, his name is Joseph; we don't have a Joseph in our family, but I was wondering, because it was such an archetypically patriarchal photograph, if maybe it was supposed to be Joe Kennedy.

The photographs-ranging from self-portraits, portraits of his former boyfriend and intimate moments between the two-document the vicissitudes of sex and love. Sheng afforded his audience the opportunity to enter a world rarely seen, a sphere of emotional fragility and ecstasy shared between two men tangled in a relationship too unconventional...
