A Lesson From Edward Weston

Edward Weston took the art of seeing to a new level when he chose the mundane and
obvious. His aim was to make the commonplace unusual. That memory of his work lead
me to photograph these peony leaves today. Learning to see through the eyes of other
photographers does more than just buying another camera to improve our photographs.
Better photographs are all around us. Even when the subject is dried up leaves.

I don't know anything about Edward Weston. I read a book by Bryan Peterson entitled, learning to see creatively. Is that something like Weston's work?

Forgot the most important part; that's a great shot to prove your point.

Tramsey:

My best advice is to look up Edward Weston's impact on photography on the web.
Remember you have to view his life in the context of what photography was like
back then. He was born in 1886 and passed away in early 1958.
