One of the things I love so much about Dan's work is his ability beautifully depict scenes of male love. It seems many of those who showcase two men together seem to struggle with separating love and sex. Not that sex is not apart of love of course, it is simply not the only thing. Dan clearly knows this with scenes of lust, longing, passion, anger, sadness, pain and every other emotion associated with a relationship. Dan is not simply one of my favorite artists at showcasing male love, he is also one of the best.
Dan does not just photograph it, he also writes about. Dan has written his first book, Coverboy and promises it is just the beginning. Dan says about the book:
'It was very important for me to tell a story that would be uplifting and inspirational about male love. There are a lot of personal things in this one, as you probably guessed. Something that conveyed friendship along with admiration and love. It's considered a novella, or a short read. I designed it for folks who were sitting on a beach, riding a subway or bus, camping out at the park for lunch...etc. Something they could read and walk away from going... yeah... this could happen to me. Things can change. Things can get better.'
