Tehama est. 1997

Tehama is a Native American word that means "abundance of nature". It become the one of the fastest growing luxury lifestyle & sportswear brands in the US. The premier line of men's and women's sportswear was founded by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood and fashion industry veteran Nancy Haley in August of 1997. Tehama is the standard upon which all other apparel companies are measured.

I also have a great deal of original slides from the above photo shoot, a superb collection featuring Clint and Dina in the above location and on the beach. There are also a number of shots featuring Clint posing beside the 'Bridges of Madison County' pick up truck. Remarkable shots that I will try to get uploaded at some point.

The DeAgostini Classic Clint Eastwood Collection 2004 - 2006

Back in 2004 DeAgostini started to release (fortnightly) a collection of Magazines with an accompanying DVD. Consisting of 52 issues, the collection of films was a pretty good representation of Clint's movie legacy, notable titles that did not make the collection included Paramount films such as Escape from Alcatraz and Paint your Wagon and Universal's Breezy. As with any collection such as this, most fans would of course have the majority of these films already in their own collections.

What made this set a little different was that it also included quite a few rare and early titles, in particular, some of Clint's early bit part movies (many of which were first time releases on DVD) and some excellent and vital gap fillers.

As the Magazines are not too much to shout about in terms of content, the DVDs were certainly worth picking up individually for certain titles and without the commitment of subscribing.

With a subscription to the collection came a bag of enticing gifts which included:
An exclusive DVD storage box
A Clint T-shirt which featured Dirty Harry artwork
A pair of Dirty Harry re pro sunglasses
A stylish binder to hold the magazines
and
A Music for the movies of Clint Eastwood Compact Disc

A big thank you to my good friend Mal Baker who helped in providing the images for this collection.
