In Celebration of the Black and White Print Video
We hope you enjoy this video. Epson came to our home and interviewed Kim about Black and White Photography and his life experiences. "Journey to the home of Edward Weston and see his original darkroom. Then listen to his grandson Kim talk about his photographic heritage workshops and his own highly collected traditional Black-and-White work. To many, Black-and-White is the very definition of photography. In addition to a series of tutorials on digital Black-and-White printing, we are honored to present in-depth interviews from two photographic icons (John Sexton) who work with traditional Black-and-White tools. Their incredible insight provides inspiration to us all as we celebrate the Black-and-White print, be it traditional or digital". Thank you Dano!

Kim Weston - 2nd Fall Dinner Party @Garrapata
Join us for a feast of Local Mussels, Wild Boar, local artisan salad, dessert and Wine! "This 2nd Fall Dinner is reminiscing on living and growing up at his family home in Garrapata, where his father Photographer Cole Weston hunted for deer and wild boar to feed the family. Though typically not cooked underground, Kim fondly remembers his mother cooking it in this way. He has since mastered this technique and can’t wait to share it with you.” Its a 2012 Weston Scholarship Fundraiser too!
