Printing in Edward Weston's Darkroom

Have you always wanted to visit Wildcat Hill and see Edward Weston's Darkroom? Here is your chance! In this 25-minute video Kim takes you into Edward Weston’s original darkroom and shows you the very simple techniques that Edward used throughout his life - a historical journey back in time to see how this master used basic tools to make incredible art.

This negative called “Spring” was photographed at Wildcat Hill in 1943. The nude in the photo is Charis Wilson, Edward’s last wife. Edward Weston photographed many wonderful photographs of Charis around his home during the 1940’s.

In 2004 we met Joachim Haupt and Sabine Pollmeier from Parnass Films. They came to Wildcat Hill because they were producing a film on Edward Weston called Nudes and Peppers. They came and spent time with us filming Charis (Wilson) Weston at our home. This film recounts Edward Weston's journey to Carmel and Point Lobos, to Oceano and Death Valley
