“In McBride’s work, the child’s joy and sense of self is in tension with the strictures of the adult world and with his own evolving sensuality. The boys in McBride’s pictures fall in love, seek comfort, display their bravado, suffer deeply, and play with unfettered energy. Although born into a world of conflicting messages and expectations, the young men coming of age in McBride’s photographs are at ease in their bodies and free of spirit”.
