Some of the pictures depict the teenagers exploring lust and love and the boys struggling to define and prove their masculinity.

Looking back at the series in 1998, Davidson said that he felt \u201cthe reason that body of work has survived is that it\u2019s about emotion. That kind of mood and tension and sexual vitality, that\u2019s what those pictures were really about.\u201d",
