A few weeks ago I had an email from a reader who was cleaning out his cupboards and found a special edition of Stern magazine. It’s a photographic portfolio of Bruce Weber from February 2005 that are either going for a sizeable chunk of cash on Amazon or just plain unavailable. He thought I’d appreciate it more than he would as he hadn’t looked at it in ages.
It arrived yesterday and it’s stunning. It is filled with beautiful images from the iconic image maker, including the stunning series of the Carlson Twins nude, above. I want to say a huge thank you to you Peter, it’s an incredibly generous gift! It’s going to take pride of place in my collection!
Wow, how lucky. I would love to have a copy of that issue, as well as a copy of “Bear Pond.” I should’ve bought it way back in the day, but you know how that goes. Could-a, should-a, would-a lol
Truly a gift from the gods… I’m a major Bruce Weber fan and consider myself lucky that I was mesmerized enough by his photography to purchase Bear Pond, Chop Suey Club, and the Stern mag monograph when they were first issued. You’re very lucky Brenton – see, nice things do happen to nice guys…
