  1. Edward Weston, 1886-1958 In Edward Weston: On Photographyedited by Peter C. Bunnell, Edward Weston explained his philosophy of photographing landscapes, at least at that time in his life: I am not trying to express myself through photography, impose my personality upon nature (any manifestation of life) but without prejudice nor falsification to become identified with nature, to know things in their very essence, so that what I record is not an interpretation—my idea of what nature should be—but a revelation or a piercing of the smoke-screen artificially cast over life by irrelevant, humanly limited exigencies, into an absolute, impersonal recognition.
