All the more reason his book has won for me important. I have only now read, after his death. And I have to say, Alfred Wertheimer was not only an excellent photographer, but also as good a narrator and observer. He could deal with words as well as with his camera.
What struck me, both Alfred Wertheimer and Ed Bonja, both photographers of Elvis, hold himself personally and do not be in the center. What would be quite possible, yes, after all, they have photographed the King.
Alfred Wertheimer describes it himself, he was like the shadow that Elvis is followed. For me as an avid amateur photographer wrote down his observations are as fascinating as his pictures. He can create with his words the same feeling. Reading makes you feel "live" in how he met Elvis for the first time. As he clings to his heels and followed him from New York to the southern states. We learn incidentally something about the people who were around at that time Elvis. But there are also interesting insights
in the show and music business of 1956th
He was just here, and his book is a wonderful historical document!
