Calendar photos

No, I didn't actually buy it, but I found these photos on the Seven Wonders board today. I only really like about half of them, but your mileage might vary in the end:

The cover, which we've all seen and loved:

Kinda "Meh."

I like this one better than the one from the CV booklet:

Funny.

Stevie must have hand-tinted the utter living **** out of this thing.

I might have liked this one better if I could see more of her face.

Is this really the best live shot Herbert had in his archives?

Another "okay" portrait from the Wild Heart sessions.

Boring.

Again, I'm wondering why there are so many "ordinary" photos in this calendar.

I guess this is why Stevie never really bought into the "hot pink" fad.

This is my favorite by far!

This one just creeps me out.

Cute smile.

Thanks for sharing those. I was going back and forth as to whether I should buy it or not. Now I'm glad I didn't. For the amount he is charging I would expect the photos to really be special. For the most part they are pretty blah to me.

I agree 1000% percent with your comments. Even though I ordered it, I think it's a badly conceived calendar. Those candid pics just have no impact or appeal and seem out of place with the better studio portraits. Still I'll treasure those really beautiful shots.

I agree. Only six of the photos hold any real value for me, and two of those are the front and back covers. I'd recommend that people save their money - there's a whole lot you can buy for $40 that will amuse yourself much more than a calendar!

Those ones w/ the hat, that I have always thought were SA era, are the ones we saw in abundance @ his shop one time. There were just SO many. Gorgeous. I rather like them. But are they the best? Hard to say. Thanks for sharing. I am eager to have this for real. As for the one w/ the wine glass. OMFG...gorgeous!

i love it, especially the candids!!!~ i would love to see all the stevie photos he has from over the yrs~

JazmenFlowers · #7 06-14-2007, 01:25 PM

it's ok. but, I doubt it's the best he has. and that's what upsets me. the man takes amazing pictures...sigh...some are fuzzy out of focus, some are overexposed looking and some are just odd pictures to put in a calendar. but, it is what it is.

luckily, there are a couple that I instantly loved...

steviefan59 · #8 06-14-2007, 01:26 PM

hi all...i have to agree that to some of us the pics are bland...there's 1 that's even blury so that should never have been put in...on the other hand i haven't seen a couple before so to me the $'s are worth it just for the collectability of having it...take care...pat

Musicman408 · #9 06-14-2007, 01:29 PM

The pics are nice, but I don't really know if it was worth the 40 or 50 dollar pricetag

Agree totally. There are definitely a few that are completely meh, which is disappointing considering the archive of photos he probably has, but I still want it. (Pip's ordered mine, yay! Thanks Pip

)

Anyway, thanks for posting the pics!

Here is another photo from the wine glass session. I'd like a calendar made entirely from photographs from this session.

Don't these all look like they were cropped to within an inch of their lives? Who takes pictures that close? Did Chris Nicks choose the layout for this thing?

Livia · #12 06-15-2007, 12:03 AM

There's a hi-res version of the brandy glass pic up on the NicksFix.

Yeah, I agree - would love to have all the pics from that photo session. She looks absolutely stunning!

eclipse · #13 06-15-2007, 05:52 AM

Thanks for posting-Excellent pics you found

I love the brady one too!!!!
I also like the one you think is boring...although it does look like a graduation gown, IS that she is wearing???

Thanks again Oh savage one- King of photos!!

I've always thought that picture was the most beautiful image of her when I first saw it in the Wild Heart tour book. If you didn't know who she was - you'd never believe she's a rock star and not a glamorous movie star.

woah

those "maybe love" black hat pictures are freakin gorgeous
more so the 2nd one
but wow
i thought my avatar was the best one

clearly the best pics in the bunch
and you gotta admit theyre better than the Burkah Stevie ones

THEN the brandy glass shot is the next best

most are average, i agree

MusicMan...ur sig pic is lush!
