Willard Van D**e met Edward Weston in 1928 — he saw an exhibition of Edward’s work, and it changed his life. He apprenticed with him that same year, and by 1932 the two had co-founded Group f/64 together, alongside Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham — the movement that championed sharp, “straight” photography over the soft-focus style of the day.
Willard loved Edward so much as a friend that he eventually stepped back from still photography himself — he later said he didn’t want to compete with his closest friend.
In 1948 he came back to Wildcat Hill, this time with a movie camera, to film The Photographer — a documentary on Edward’s life and work, shot right here and at Point Lobos, not long before Edward’s Parkinson’s made it impossible for him to hold his own camera any longer.
This photo captures that devotion: Willard behind the lens, looking at the man and the 8x10 view camera that helped change American photography. đź“·

A Son’s Eye | Edward Weston — The Man, Not the Myth
Not every photograph of a great artist captures the man behind the work. This one does. Taken around 1945 by his youngest son Cole, this portrait of Edward Weston is one of the family’s most treasured images. He looks happy. He looks healthy.
Cole used to lecture about his father, and he called it simply — The Man, Not the Myth. That title says everything. Cole knew Edward not as an icon, but as his father, and that intimacy shows in this photograph.
Edward died at Wildcat Hill on New Year’s Day, 1958. His sons scattered his ashes at Point Lobos — a place he loved so deeply that the beach was later renamed Weston Beach in his honor.
This photograph appears in Kim’s book Growing Up Weston, along with Kim’s own story of coming to Wildcat Hill as a boy and meeting his grandfather. It is a book about photography, yes — but more than that, it is a book about family.
Wildcat Hill remains in the Weston family. Kim Weston, Edward’s grandson, lives and works here today. Learn more about the Weston legacy and Kim’s work at kimweston.com. Come for a visit!

I’m sharing one slice of a much bigger story today: Edward Weston at Point Lobos and why black—and-white still moves us.

Edward Weston, circa 1940. You can see how happy he was — with his 8x10 camera, at the place he loved most. He had his cabin built in Carmel Highlands in 1938, just a few miles away from the rocks and tide pools that became some of the most iconic images in photography history.

Fog and Cypress, Point Lobos, 1938 — Edward Weston.
No trails. No lines of cars at the gate. Just Edward, his eight by ten, and this — the twisted cypresses emerging from the fog above the rocks at Point Lobos. He walked these shores for a decade and knew every inch of them. You can feel it in this image.
This print is part of a new blog post pairing Edward’s Point Lobos work with Kim’s — two generations, same coastline, same quality of attention.
