"I am not an expert on the life and times of Edward Weston. As mentioned above, I knew him for only the last decade of his life."
Ah, but you are an expert on when and how you knew him! What you did with him. What you and him talked about. Etc.
Edward Weston, an alumnus of the Illinois College of Photography, was born on this date in 1886.
He may have very well grown his own, in his kitchen garden.
IMO.
Well, I gotta admit I was influenced by Maddow. And I have heard numerous Weston anecdotes from a colleague of mine, a family friend of the Weston clan who frequently visited them, but, being a decade younger than even me, never personally knew EW. Fortunately, when I was still a teenager, I saw actual EW prints as well as book images, which inspired me visually long before I learned anything allegedly biographical.
Happy Birthday!
