This is one of my favorite photography books -- it has taught me so much. With Weston's own words accompanying his photographs, one gets a sense of his work ethic, what inspired him, and his ideas on art. I refer to both the text and the images in this work when I need inspiration. It has been a big help in photography school, too.

Favorite quotes:
"dare to experiment"
"I still had the pepper which caused me a week's work. I had decided I could go no further with it, yet something kept me from taking it to th ekitchen, the end of all good peppers."
"It has been suggested that I am a cannibal to eat my models after a masterpiece. But I rather like the idea that they become a part of me, enrich my blood as well as my vision." (
