Exhibition in Prague & A New Film

Now 77, Bruce shows no signs of slowing down. He’s currently working on the 23rd edition of his annual arts journal titled All-American. He’s also planning an upcoming exhibition in Prague, while working on a new short film at the same time.

More than anything, Bruce wants his fans and collectors to know how much he appreciates them. “I’m really, really thankful to the people who’ve collected my photographs and books, to show me that admiration. When you take a picture, it’s a gift—from somebody and for somebody else. And I hope my work can inspire others to get out there themselves and take pictures, to give something back.” P bruceweber.com
