The oven's on but a pause to look at an Edward Weston book, and specifically Pepper No. 30
Weston was shooting on a camera producing 10" x 8" negatives from which he made contact prints. First saw how amazing these were when I skipped school aged 15 to attend opening of a show in the Curtois wing of the local Usher Gallery, Lincoln, UK. Forever grateful to the curator who decided to put on a serious photography show in our art gallery. (It would be decades before the Tate in London would think to do so.)
