ONLY FOR THE MASSES IS JAMES BLAKE'S THIRD BOOK OF A FIGURATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY TRILOGY (STARTING WITH FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE AND FOLLOWED BY EVERYDAY PEOPLE EVERYDAY LIVES), AND THE MOTIVATION HERE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WITH WITH FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE. TO PHOTOGRAPH FIGURATIVE STREET ART AND FIGURATIVE STAINED GLASS PURELY FOR THE APPRECIATION OF THE ARTISTIC CREATIVITY AND AESTHETIC BEAUTY OF THE WORKS CREATED. WHICH ARE, JUST LIKE FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE, IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN AND FREE FOR ALL TO SEE. WHAT IS INTERESTING, BY MIXING TOGETHER THE SECULAR AND THE HOLY ART STYLES TOGETHER IN THIS BOOK'S PRESENTATION, IS THAT, EVEN THOUGH ESSENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF YEARS APART IN THEIR CREATION, BOTH ART STYLES USE THE SAME METHODS TO TELL A STORY, EVEN THOUGH THE STORIES ARE DIFFERENT, THE HUMAN NEED TO EXPRESS OURSELVES THROUGH FIGURATIVE ART REMAINS THE SAME. NOTHING, APART FROM THE STORIES WE TELL, HAS CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY, and ALL THAT IS SEEN HERE HAS BEEN EXPRESSED BY SOME VERY TALENTED ARTISTS, AND SHOULD BE SEEN, APRECIATED AND LOVED BY ALL.

LIKE THE FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE AND PEOPLE JAMES HAS PHOTOGRAPHED OVER THE YEARS, THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS BOOK BEGAN BACK IN 2004-2005.
