Grand Guy Bruce Weber brought fash’ legend David Bailey about, the hottest day of the year 2013, to take pictures around the house with not-yet-on- the-market very yellow Nokia cell phone/cameras.  They were shooting the commercial that ended up an homage to local hero, Gil Scott Heron. Bruce’s been supportive of our efforts for several years now.  Asked about his favorite haunts for the book My City, My New York he talked about our walks around Harlem.  In January 2014, a shoot he did on location here appeared in German Vogue called All That Jazz, featuring Jessica Chastain and Omar Sy.  We’ve Vreeland in common and had a lively reminiscence.

I was always an admirer, as much of his masculine as photographic accomplishments: Jean Shrimpton (1961), Catherine Deneuve (married 1965), Jane Birkin, Marianne Faithful, Penelope Tree, Monica Vitti, Angelica Huston & Donyale Luna. David Hemmings plays him in Antonioni’s Blow Up. He photographed the Kray twins, the Rolling Stones when they were babies (cover, Out of Our Heads), the Beatles, Brian Epstein, the Who, Andy Warhol, Rudolf Nureyev, Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate and now, ta-da, Thometz.
