"The Eloquent Nude" about she and Weston was on Ovation last night. The network has photography shows all week, this week. |

I was there at Wildcat Hills in a workshop with Kim Weston. There is so much history in the whole property. Here is a shot outside a window of the main house where Edward died. It was unbelievable to see many of Edward Weston's works everywhere hanging in the living room, kitchen, etc. |
