Geoff,
Start with a book of his his nudes - they are special, then his still life,
and finally everything else. I am sure Amazon has a good selection. Be
careful, though - a lot of the same photos make it to various collections. A
few years ago I caught up with an exhibition of his works in London, printed
by Brett Weston. It was quite stunning.
Cheers
Jayanand
