Brett Weston/Exhibition - Daytona Beach, FL - April 28, 2018 through July 29, 2018

This is an opportunity to mention that the excellent film Art Wright made of Brett in 1972 is available on DVD. It is well worth the price, showing Brett in action, and also includes almost 900 images of his from the Brett Weston Archive. I was along for some of the filming, and appear briefly photographing with Brett at Point Lobos (with my Calumet 4x5). I believe that it is still available from Art, I heard from him a few months ago. Some on this forum have purchased the DVD and may chime in.


I purchased the DVD several years ago, found it quite enjoyable. You really get an insight about how photographically driven Brett was. I also remember seeing a younger Merg Ross.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your comment on Art's film. Indeed, a younger Merg Ross for sure!

It must be an excellent exhibition! I will be able to go next month.

Great! Please report back.

I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD also. I've never seen one of his prints in person but really like his use of dense blacks. I see a little bit of Brett in Merg's work also, or is it a little of Merg in Brett's work...

Great to find this out! Thank you! I drove to Daytona last Saturday to visit the Southeast Museum of Photography for the last day of two shows there. It's an 85 mile drive from Jacksonville where I live, but it will be well worth it! Thanks again.

Went to see the exhibition. It is an amazing show, pure black and white!

Is this exhibition traveling to other cities?
