Kurzbeschreibung
A series of incisive and never before published interviews by English journalist Edward Behr form the backbone of "Scrapbooks From Africa and Beyond" that takes viewers to three continents. Beard lives in the present and here we are offered a rare experience to observe how he captures the essence of each moment. Marked by a sense of intimacy and sincerity, Beard is shown at work shooting nudes and fashion, with his family and friends, the native Kenyans he lived near and works with or just one-on-one, in candid revealing scenes that underscore his life's work. In "Scrapbooks from Africa and Beyond", Beard's adventures and the substance of his work are united as one. the iconic photographs of his legendary past are revisited and for the first time we read and hear the stories about the making of Beard's first book "End of the Game", his appearance in the underground classic "Halleluja the Hills", his fortuitous meeting with British painter Francis Bacon, and his youthful acquaintance with Karen Blixen. Beard's epic notebooks, bound with ink, blood, photographs and the detrius of life on the road are matched here by his recollections of the remnants ofKenya's colonial past. Film narrated by award-winning actress, Charlotte Rampling, with rare footage of Francis Bacon, Jonas Mekas, Andy Warhol, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mick Jagger among numerous others.

Extremely disappointing
12. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Peter Beard is such a wonderful photographer that I was very disappointed when I received this book. I thought this would be more of a coffee table book containing lush photos of Africa, but instead it's a compilation of his shooting models in Africa and lots of photos of him. I blame myself for not getting a better sense of the contents prior to ordering, but nonetheless a disappointment. The printing quality and paper choice also contributed to a less than interesting book. Dull and not beautiful.

This book is photos of Beard, an excellent, in-depth interview, and a DVD on Peter Beard
28. Juni 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I warily ignored these two reviews above, the way a hunter might a distant roaring, and ordered the book.
My opinion, having avidly read the interview of Beard that is the text of the book, is that the reviewer J. Johnson is accurate in his comment, "I blame myself for not getting a better sense of the contents prior to ordering...". I disagree on all his other points.
The book is not by Peter Beard, nor shows his own photographs, but is three things -
1. a series of photographs by Guillaume Bonn, mostly of Beard doing his art or photography;
2. a long and incisive interview by Edward Behr with Peter Beard, about Beard's life, photography, Africa, losing his Long Island home, and his views on the world and the living. It is wonderful, chilling, and the meat of this book. I think it is well worth the price for this interview alone;
3. The DVD - Peter Beard: Scrapbooks From Africa & Beyond (1998)
which can be purchased separately, info at:
[...]
The film can be appreciated, or panned, as it was at:
[...]
The book itself originally cost $55. My used copy cost under $15. I am very happy with the knowledge that I have gained by buying it, and I still admire the iconoclast explorer and adventurer Peter Beard.
Also, the quality of the paper is heavy, dull stock that is fine for the smaller size photos that it presents. The interview suffers not one wit from the fine dull stock. The cover is somewhat tasteless burgundy-colored fake lizard skin, I assume.

The book is never dull, and is not really beautiful, as was Peter Beard's view of the world of Africa, it's people and its wild life. However, his did love beautiful women, and his life was not dull.

fun and beautifull
27. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The last romantic, with all the seedy glamour of one who touched the U S of A's top society, moved in the Warhol and Bacon scene and stil had his own place and work out of the maistream. He's an artist who doesn't artsyfart about himself, although this is about himself. He takes importance out of canonised truth's of africa(most animal (game) reserve Ngos would kill him) and model glamour. Although most people who in some way know him dismiss him as a druged arse he managed (at least in this book and dvd) to live with beauty and rugged romanticism in a realm where most of us haven't had the courage. Althesame I got the feeling that something is somewhat lacking, maybe some depth but it is a beautifull, beautifull book.
