Brett Weston/A Centennial Book

For those who missed the opportunity to purchase the book WITH a print, they now have an opportunity to purchase the book WITHOUT a print. Price remains the same. Beautifully done, as typical of PWG books.

I just see 1 used for $2500 on that link. Out of my range.

His prints are beautiful, but I don't think that his photographs are particularly interesting. I do have friends who feel differently, though.

Hi Bill,

Even if you did find his photographs interesting, this book would not be a good choice, in my opinion. The PWG book, Master Photographer, (a title Brett disliked) would be the one to get. Still being offered for $150. Save a couple of grand for film, paper, ink, or whatever!

Hi Merg,
I had that one, and gave it to one of my friends who could appreciate it more than I did. As I recall it was more like $60 at the time.

I would think the Portfolio Series being published by Lodima Press is a better deal than the Centennial book. But that series is delayed due to publisher/printer issues, last I heard.

The Lodima Portfolio Series is excellent. The Centennial book does not present Brett's work, rather it was done as a tribute, with insights from those who knew him well. Definetly not a good choice for viewing his work. For that, "A Personal Selection" or "Master Photographer" would be appropriate choices.
