James Dean photos

[bob soltis]

Dennis Stock's book of photographs titled: "James Dean: Fifty Years Ago" is worth a look.

 

In addition to the famous Times Square photo, the book includes Stock's documentation of Dean's visit

to his Fairmont, Indiana hometown less than a year before his untimely death, and Mr. Stock's account

of his time spent with the late actor.

 

I was fortunate to run across this book in the new acquisitions section of the San Diego library.

My local libray as it as well. Very good book. I'm a big fan of Stock's work.

 

I noticed this in it: Author of the introduction says that Stock suggested to Dean that Dean stand in a window and photograph peoples' reaction to seeing Dean; in Stock's text of that photo, he says that Dean suggested it.

Yup, I like Dennis Stock too. His 'Made in USA' is a good overview of his work. It has several of his James Dean photos, and selected highlights from other projects as well. Worth a look if you run across a copy.
