Talk:Bruce Weber (photographer)

message: This really is not good, what on earth does his sexuality have to do with him as a fashion/art photographer? Everyone in fashion is gay (not everyone but enough where it need not be mentioned over and over and over again). And to exploit the odd video and one or two older films and forget about the fact that he, Richard Avedon and Herb Ritts did most Vogue, GQ etc. covers throughout the 80s and 90s and dominated the look of modern fashion...this needs to be the focus. With the death of Herb Ritts, Scavullo, and Richard Avedons old age and certain retirement he is the last of the 70s, 80s and 90s Haute Photographers that is alive and working (he is the end of this era of 100,000 dollar an hour photographers). His contribution to the Pirelli calendar (a testament to the best of the best)...the fact that he is amongst the highest selling photographers with posters and 10,000 dollar prints out...how everyone from Versace to Gucci and back again used him for major (HUGE) ad campaigns...why forget all that?...not very good at all! (And what on earth do ancient Greeks have to do with modern fashion/art photography...officially it has only just been recognized as a traditional art form...Greeks, 2000 years old the way it is described...photography, 100 or so years...makes no sense in this context.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.104.246 (talk • contribs) 07:51, 25 June 2005
:there is bias on the gay aspect and not the photographer as it should be. though a minor celebrity he is famous for his work and place in fashion and art history. not his sex. i agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.113.50 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 6 July 2005
::All that matters is whether the material is factual.  It would be impossible to overstate the impact that Weber's sexuality has had on every aspect of his work.  What right do people have to remove facts merely because they find them inconvenient or (to them) irrelevant?  The important information about the sexuality of gay people is disappearing (vigorously removed by self-evident and usually anonymous homophobes) from article after article on Wikipedia, which will lose its value as it loses its objectivity.  --Kstern999 18:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bottom line they don't have the right to remove facts. If they can be shown to be facts they should be restored or reverted back. That the reason to keep articles on your watch list. Doc ♬ talk 19:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bruce isn't gay. He has lived with Nan Bush since the early 70s. So in fact he is married by common law marriage.--Jsderwin (talk) 18:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

message: that he would want to be known as he truly was and lived his life the way he wanted?
that the gay community would want to claim him as their own?
:I'm not really sure what the point of this is. To begin with he's not gay, if that is the point you are driving at. Secondly, you should put some effort behind your statement by signing your work and adding a date. Like this --> --Jsderwin (talk) 07:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  did this ever occur to you? 

message: There was no need for the page move with only two persons by this name. The photographer has the largest number of pages directed so it makes sense at this point to at least redirect to that page which still has the pointer to the coaches page. Too many changes of link have been made to make it worth my time. If someone else wants to move it the photographer back and change all the links that's fine. Doc 02:40, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as Bruce Weber redirects to Bruce Weber (photographer) then there's no need to change links from Bruce Weber to Bruce Weber. See Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. - Sweetie Petie 09:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Unnecessary page move

message: I added some information at the beginning, since Weber was pretty famous in the art world as early as 1977 and maybe before then, as one of the principal photographers on GQ magazine.  He worked in Interview in the mid 1980s.  I did a little cleanup on the huge run-on sentence about the calvin klein ad.  I'm not sure if the author meant to say that Weber or Schenkenberg was "catapulted into fame" by the wet jeans photos. DonPMitchell 04:04, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed links to this because Bruce Weber is not gay, therefore there is no reason for him to be linked. --Jsderwin (talk) 07:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  LGBTProject  

message: I removed the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. company link at the bottom because Bruce doesn't work for them. He's a freelance photographer who is hired by companies to photograph for them. He has a clothing line distributed by them, but that hardly makes him an employee. It's like saying Martha Stewart works for K-Mart. --Jsderwin (talk) 07:20, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
