"In Big Sur, in 1964, Walter Chappell shot a series of photographs of Sharon Tate that freeze her as she has since been frozen by fate, as a tragically and eternally young heroine. For 35 years those photographs remained hidden; here they appear in all their gauzy, morbid beauty."

Celebration of A Beautiful Life,
By
This review is from: Photographs Of Sharon Tate By Walter Chappell (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful, albeit small, collection of photographs of Sharon Tate. The book is only 15 pages, and contains only 6 illustrations, but it is well worth the money for the beautiful images. The photographs were taken in 1964 when Sharon was 21. For the most part, they feature Sharon amidst elements of nature. My favorite photograph is one of Sharon shielding her face from the sun (black and white, folds out). Also included is a short essay on the brilliance of photographer Walter Chappell and his images of Sharon. My only wish is that a larger collection of Sharon Tate images would be released. Sharon Tate lived 26 years before the one night that took her life and it is time that more books like this which celebrate the beauty of her life rather than the horror of her death be released!
