Edward Weston

He was born on March 24, 1886 in Illinois
He died on January 1st 1958 at 71

His first camera was a Kodak bulls-eye for his 16th birthday
He attended the College of Illinois for photography and the Chicago art school featured his work.

He moved to California where he shot a lot more
He had a large family with 4 boys and a girl,
2 ended up being photographers
His son Brett focused on Black and white with nature
and his son Coal used vibrant colors in his photos

I love the darkness of his face and the light that is his body....
It's a portrait of his son Neil...
