Veronika in Midweek Sport (Mar. 18, 2015)
Veronika appears in the March 18, 2015 issue of Midweek Sport. This is the second week in a row …. awesome!!! You would think by know they would have figured out that every time Veronika appears in their paper I buy a copy … they could have been rich if she would appear every issue!! 🙂
This time a nice 2 page spread with 2 pics each from Set 405 and Set 406. Both sets were shot in London back in May of 2008 by Jens Wikholm.
Here’s the preview …
The Passing of Tom Millea
It is with sad news that I discovered just this weekend that photographer Tom Millea had passed away on Feb 16, 2015. Tom worked with Veronika back in May of 2002 and was responsible for the very tasteful and artistic Set 215.
Tom’s mark on the world came as a result of his work with platinum instead of silver to produce very unique B&W photographs. His work stills hangs in several museums around the world. He printed a handful of platinum photos with Veronika after his photoshoot with her. When I went and visited Tom at his house in California a few years ago he had told me that he decided to work with Veronika because he felt that:
“she would make an interesting subject to photograph”
he certainly had a very artistic eye for capturing the true beauty of his subjects through the use of B&W, unique lighting and poses. I did have a chance to view the entire set of approx. 1500 photos of Veronika he shot that day and all I can say was that they were breathtaking. He only ever released a handful of photographs from that photosession with Veronika.
During my meeting with him I did purchase one of those wonderful platinum prints and several of the unreleased photos from that set for my private collection. In honour of Tom’s passing I felt it was warranted to post a couple of the better photos from that photosession which I had purchased. I hope that you will all agree that Tom’s work was among the best if certainly not the most artistic work of Veronika.
Tom’s obituary can be found here if you care to discover more about his life
RIP Tom !!!!
Veronika in Midweek Sport (Mar. 11, 2015)
Veronika appears in the March 11, 2015 issue of Midweek Sport. This time a pic that I don’t believe was printed before in this newspaper from an older J. Stephen Hicks photoshoot from 2001.
Here’s the preview …
Still time for our UK friends to pick up a copy on the newsstands if they want!!!
Suze Re-releases Set 204 (Mar. 2, 2015)
2 Additional Pics for Set 456
Well I got a huge surprise just after releasing the new Set 456 earlier this week. Right after the release I received an email from Veronika’s previous manager PJ telling me that “Andrew Juergen” is actually photographer “Ken Juergen”. I guess this explains why I have never been able to find any reference or links to “Andrew”. Along with the info regarding Ken, PJ forwarded me a link to Ken’s Model Mayhem page. On his page were located 2 absolute killer photos of Veronika which are clearly part of the new Set 456 I just added. When I first went to the Model Mayhem page I was shocked to see that these two pics of Veronika had only been viewed 4 times each since being uploaded who knows when … talk about hidden treasures being uncovered … OMFG !!
Find below the 2 pics.
The full sized versions can be retrieved directly from the Set 456 link above.
Turns out the set was shot in Prague based on Ken titling these pics “Prague Columns” on his Model Mayhem page.
New Set 456 Added to Index
A little surprise for all the Veronika fans out there today … A NEW SET.
I have decided to release a couple of pics from my private collection at “www.VERONIKA-ZEMANOVA.info” and combine them with 1 existing pic from the Misc. set to create this new Set 456. Find below all 3 pics which now make up this set. I hope that you all agree with me that Veronika looks absolutely stunning in this set. Just wish there were more pics 😉
This set was originally shot by Ken Juergen in Aug. 2002.
Bizarre New Misc. Pic
Found this absolutely bizarre single photo of Veronika posted in an issue of the German magazine Sex Woche No. 35 (1998).
I am fairly certain that it was shot around the same time as the infamous boy/girl set since I heard from a reliable source that Roberto Rocchi who shot the boy/girl set also shot many other sets of Veronika that same weekend, only a few scattered pics of which have ever been found in print. I also heard from the same source that most, if not all, of the original material from that photo shoot has been discarded … so unless more is found buried in a magazine already printed, we are very unlikely to find anymore pics of this blond wig set or any others from that early photo shoot of Veronika (time to cry now!!!)
I have added this photo to the Misc. Set of the index as photo #30.
Set 254 Cover Pic Extract
A long time fan of Veronika just passed along this fantastic extracted pic of Veronika for Set 254 from the cover of the June 2004 issue of Club magazine.
Here is the cover showing the extracted pic:
and the final full resolution version of the pic:
I have added the extracted photo as pic # 40 in the index for that Set.
This set was originally photographed for Danni by Nicolas Sage in Oct. 2001 in Los Angeles.
Thanks again ferhercas for this version 🙂
Hot Latinas Magazines
As I had mentioned in the Hot Latinas Cover post, I recently found these 2 “Hot Latinas” magazines on ebay. I still have to laugh though how anyone would take Veronika to be Latino, however am not complaining once I saw the layouts. Virtually every pic in the 2 magazines was new. Strange that such an obscure magazine title would be home to such great old gems!!! Below I have provided some previews of the magazine content.
The text accompanying the layouts is classic … in one case Veronika is born in New York City of Puerto Rican parents and in the other she is Cuban now living Miami LMFAO 🙂
Hot Latinas Vol. 1 No. 6 (Nov. 2000)
Hot Latinas Vol. 3 No. 5 (Sept. 2002)
The one thing I did notice, is that virtually every pic in both issues was published in the reverse orientation … guess they did not know about the Veronika “Orientation Guide”.
Both magazines featured sets shot during the same weekend in late 1997 by Peter Flodqvist.
Unfortunately it does appear that the magazine is no longer in circulation as the URL shown on the covers is no longer active.
