I once spent an evening with Brett. he sure could shoot, make prints and imbibe
in my Guinness...
KK
Allseriousness aside, I also recall that Edward criticized his son, Brett,
once,in public (and it wound up in writing), saying that Brett felt that he
neededto have the most expensive lenses and cameras, fastest (most expensive)
carsand fastest (most expensive) women! Edward didn’t think all thatwas
necessary but he did admit that Brett made great photos.
CHEERS!

DEARJEAN-DAVID,
Congratulations! You definitely got me on that one! I must have
had a case of “Gullible’sTravels”! This doesn’t happen often.

I was joking, sarcastically. Neither of the points I made were true.
Weston, at one point, got so annoyed about people saying what a great
lens he must be using, got a lens for $5 or $10 or something like that
in a second hand shop and used it (at least for a while).
And that stuff about his being blind I just made up. No way could he
have seen the images he did if he could not see, both optically and
artistically.
Sorry if you believed me. I was just kidding.
