Great book, from the press release- "A collection of photographs by Katsu Naito, documenting the transvestite and transexual street-walkers of New York's Meatpacking District in the early 1990s. The 45 images, largely portraits, intimately capture the unexpected beauty of the subject's day-to-day lives.
