Anyone who has ever been a teenager will want to own this remarkable book. Joseph Szabo's photographs capture the angst, the defiance, the vulnerability and the joy of adolescence in breathtaking black and white reality. All the memories of that pivotal period, tempered by the kindness of time, come flooding back as one leafs through the pages of "Teenage".

I'm a former student of Mr.Szabo and I really enjoyed all of his classes I took through out Malverne High School. I was also a frequent subject of his which is what prompted me to buy this book. I was very curious to see if any of my pics "made it". While I didn't see any, I did see alot of people I know and it brought back all of those cool, crazy memories. It is truly a moment in time that can never be replaced in the life of a teen. As a teenager, you think your indestructable and ruler of your world and these pictures say it all. Hat's off Mr.S, your incredible!

These sensitive, beautiful pictures speak volumes on youth and coming of age. Very highly recommended.

For photography lovers, this book is a must-own collection of images that captures the longing and passion of youth. Although some of the fashion and hair styles are a bit dated, the emotion and desire of the subjects is as old as time. (For me, it was like flipping through my old yearbooks. I felt as if I knew the people, because mood and attitude shine throughout, rather than specific people or features.)

It's not an easy book to find, so if you do, grab it. Flip through it. Take a trip back in time, both emotionally and chronologically.

Joseph Szabo is an incredible talent.
