Note: On December 16, 1911, Brett Weston, destined to become one of the top ten photographers whose work was collected by museums around the world, was born in Los Angeles.  One of photographer Edward Weston’s four sons, Brett began taking photographs in 1925 in Mexico, where his father was living with Tina Modotti.  By 1927, Brett was an accomplished photographer. He exhibited in 1929 with Edward at the huge photo exhibit, Film und Foto, in Stuttgart, Germany, and had his first museum retrospective at the De Young Museum in San Francisco in 1932. While he shared his father’s love of black-and-white photography made with large format cameras, Brett tended to use longer lenses to flatten the perspective and enhance a sense of abstraction.  After spending much of his life in Carmel, California, toward the end of his life he lived part-time on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he continued to photograph. In 1991, he destroyed most of his negatives because he didn’t want anyone else to print them. Brett Weston died in Hawaii on January 22, 1993.
