Bruce Weber is one of the most recognized names in modern American photography. His trademark style, which emphasizes the intense and erotic in the human form, is certainly one of the most imitated. Although it was Weber who introduced male glamour into American culture, his true art revolves around the myth of the American dream, the unfettered individual depicted against the rawness of the land. Weber''s images bring physical sensuality to life amidst sun, air and simplicity. And -- because for the photographer, beauty is inconceivable without the innocence of youth -- much of his work depicts young, vital subjects. Although he is most widely known for his fashion and advertising photography, Weber is also an accomplished portraitist and landscape photographer. In Roadside America he takes us on a private trip that begins in New York City, travels south into the Everglades, and across the country to Montana and Hollywood. Intertwined are portraits of figures from the worlds of jazz, art, poetry and fashion, including Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Georgia O''Keeffe, Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt, and Kate Moss. Together these faces and places combine to offer a truly American experience from the quintessential American photographer.

Bruce Weber is the author of five previously published books of poetry: "These Poems are Not Pretty" (Miami: Palmetto Press, 1992), "How the Poem Died" (New York: Linear Arts, 1998), "Poetic Justice" (New York: Ikon Press, 2004), "The First Time I Had Sex with T. S. Eliot" (New York: Venom Press, 2004), and "The Break-up of My First Marriage" (Rogue Scholars Press, 2009).Bruce''s work has appeared in numerous magazines, as well as in several anthologies. He has performed regularly in the Tri-State area, both alone and for many years with his former performance group, Bruce Weber''s No Chance Ensemble.

At first I thought strictly about a book of photographs on fashion. As I worked on it, I thought more and more about something my friend the late, great fashion designer Gianni Versace once said, in giving me advice before an assignment, ''Call me des mode, but give me beauty''. And with these inspired words I wanted to make a record of how I journeyed out into the world and recorded what most people call fashion. These photographs were not just about the shape of clothes, but also how one sees fashion in nature, architecture, and in the human spirit.
