In the 80s, Jeff Bridge's wife got him a Widelux panoramic camera, so he started taking photos of the movie sets he worked on. Here are a few of the photos with links to more and through that a link to the book he made of them all.

The Fabulous Baker Boys (I like this one because I had my wedding reception in this room and had no idea it was in this movie):

Wonder how they would have looked in color.

Jeff Bridges is my favorite actor, and yet I didn't know about these :/ I did, however, read about him getting into singing which was...interesting. Following a dream is definitely to be commended though, and he's clearly a man of many talents.

Yes, and they cost a lot to develop for basic point-and-shoot film.

The one with him and Sam Elliot is probably my favorite, along with some from Crazy Heart. I might have to email that gallery he lists on his website about seeing what prints can be purchased.
