I am not gay, but I loved this book. The photography is stunning, Bianchi's ability to capture images at the right moment is phenominal. I applaud his work and have shown it many of my friends who also enjoyed the work. Mr. Bianchi shouldn't be catagorized as a "gay photographer," but as a brillant visionist.

Tom Bianchi's erotically charged portfolio "Extraordinary Friends" is a visual feast of erotic lifestyle possibilities and a dreamy celebration of life au naturel. Bianchi's black and white photography of exceptional men and women is worthy of gracing the polished tops of coffee tables in the most sophisticated, progressive living rooms. My wife and I return to Bianchi's stills every so often to day dream about what a life must be like where friends are beautiful, without shame and guilt, open and honest, and relaxed enough to exhibit their sexuality in both light and shadow. This book is highly recommended for collectors of fine figure photography. Be prepared: Mr. Bianchi is a Michaelangelo in the medium of silver nitrate; he, too, is unashamed of celebrating the human body--regardless of being man or woman. Be prepared for a trip to the borderlands of erotic and personal freedom, gender and sexual expression.-- Louis Varricchi

"Bianchi continues the photographic adventure he began in his firts book, Out of the Studio. Traveling with his friend and life companion Mark Prunty, Bianchi spent two years wandering the United States and Mexico, inviting people along the way to join him in the making of these wonderful, spontaneous photographs."--?
