^Yeah, I get your point.
I remember that at the time Amber´s cover was also controversial...

'Friends... Lovers... and an American Girl Named Dree' by Bruce Weber for the December 2011 issue of Spanish Vogue. The story features Dree Hemingway, Juan Heredia, Marlon Teixeira, Marloes Horst, Adam Senn, Magdalena Frackowiak, Nathan Voronyak, Francisco Javier Escobar, Jeremy Everett, Aaron O'Connell , Jeff Aquilon and many more.
I finally FINALLY got my hands on this tonight lol and you are so right, a collector's item through and through, he goes from easy breezy spreads to politics to charity and personal stories, it's a beautiful thing to have even if you are not that familiarised with his work.. every element of his photographs seems to have so much meaning and.. soul?, even choosing Dree doesn't feel like a vapid 'it girl' choice but a genuine infatuation with her personality and future. And I love what he said about the baby, that he was told in Tahiti that "kids belong to us" and that it is our duty to treat them right and be kind to them and let them bloom, so by photographing Dree hugging a baby he wanted to make a point on hugging all kids.I just got this issue today and It was the best Christmas gift i could ever imagine! I had no idea there were so many Bruce Weber pages inside and since he is my all time favorite photographer it was a blast to flip through the pages! Not a fan of Dree, but Weber is always Weber and he can never disappoint us, his fans!
