GONZO: Photographs By Hunter S. Thompson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In late 2006, AMMO Books published a limited-edition 224 page collection titled GONZO: Photographs By Hunter S. Thompson, mainly a collection of photographs taken by or of Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson's snapshots were a combination of the subjects he was covering, stylized self-portraits, and artistic still life photos. The London Observer called the photos "astonishingly good" and that "Thompson's pictures remind us, brilliantly in every sense, of very real people, real colours".[1] With an introduction by Johnny Depp (a friend of Thompson, and portrayer of his author surrogate, Raoul Duke, in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), the book was made to recall the history of Thompson and his work.
