My good friend Gunifort who works at bookstore MENDO in Amsterdam, is the man who hooks me up with the most amazing books I have ever read. I love everything about books and magazines, the way they smell, the way the paper feels, the feeling you get when your reading a good book all of it’s just why I love to visit my good friend Gunifort while he is making mucho deniro. Last week I visited the bookstore and Gunifort just couldn’t stop talking about Albert Watson. Sometimes I’m amazed at the things he comes up with and the passionate words and ways he chooses to explain why I should read this book. Oh well…here it goes.

Born in 1942 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Albert Watson has made his mark over the last four decades as one of world’s most successful fashion and commercial photographers, while creating his own art along the way. As well as being exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, his photographs have appeared on more than 250 covers of Vogue and has been featured in numerous other publications, including Rolling Stone, Time and Vibe. Watson’s latest book is titled UFO (Unified Fashion Objectives), and it’s a 40-year retrospective of his fashion photographs—many of them iconic and some of them never seen before by the public. While Watson says the book is not laid out chronologically, he did include some of his older work in the beginning pages to show the progression of his style and his career.

I bought Albert Watson’s ”UFO” book for 90 Euros at bookstore MENDO. It is an amazing read!
