“You still crave lemonade, but the taste doesn’t satisfy you as much as it used to. You still crave summer, but sometimes you mean summer, five years ago.”

The Study on Post-Pubescent Manhood is a collection of images taken by American photographer Stacy Kranitz in 2013. It looks at how subculture self-consciously dramatizes violence through daily rituals, habits, and pastimes, thereby implicating the photographer and viewer as consumers of that violence. These images were taken at a dystopian compound in the Southern Ohio Appalachian region of the United States.
