Well, let's just say I'm not exactly surprised by your choice!
Since you are such a fan, though, it might be a good idea to make this essay one of comparisons and contrasts, where you really put Michaels in a context, with other photographers, and even painters (surrealists etc...) that might have influenced his style...
Hi – hope these ideas help out or give inspiration! Firstly, “The Zeugma Interviews”, a great interview revealing artists character and has references to Andy Warhol thus giving historical context. He is aged 64 in this interview so he is looking back over his life. It seems to have quite a bit of information to use. http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~karlpeter/zeugma/inters/michals.htm A book recommended by its readers through Amazon books is; “Album: The Portraits of Duane Michaels 1958 – 1988”. A You tube interview approx. 30mins long is; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0yoUWwI90M Lastly, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a great photography section. This has heaps to look at including a timeline so you can find out more information regarding historical context, possible influences and exhibitions. Go into thematic essays section and choose photography. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hi/te_index.asp?s=all&t=all&d=photographs Good luck ☺
