Leading up to his 80th birthday, most all of Brett's negatives were soaked in large cans of water before being transported to the county dump in Salinas.
On the morning of his birthday in 1991 at his Carmel Valley home , surrounded by an international press, Brett tossed a few 8x10 negatives into the flames of his fireplace.
He consented to having several dozen negatives saved for the Brett Weston archive at the CCP in Tucson.
