Greetings and happy Valentine's Day!

The last few weeks on Wildcat Hill have been filled with windless, warm, sunny days which have us looking forward to spring and the start of the 2018 Weston Workshop season!

The roots of photography run deep in both the Adams and Weston families; it is always a special experience to continue the old tradition of discussing art and sharing experiences over good food. 

The Four Generations of Weston Photography Gallery is located at Edward Weston's former home in Carmel Highlands, California and exhibits photographs by Edward Weston, Brett Weston, Kim Weston, and Zach Weston. Visit our Artsy page to view a selection of works we have available for collection by each artist!

Secure your spot before it's too late!

This summer, Kim and I had the opportunity to attend the opening of a gorgeous exhibition, Weston 4 Generations: Classics of Modern American Photography at Kunsträume Grenzenlos in Bayerisch Eisenstein.

In a special behind-the-photo tour of the exhibition, Edward Weston’s grandson, Kim Weston, will share the more intimate story of his photographer-grandfather. Attendees of this sold-out tour will learn how Edward's life inspired future generations to see the world through a black and white lens.

Over the past two months, the photo-sharing app Instagram, and its parent company, Facebook, have trained their controversial censorship policies on, of all places, the Museum of Fine Arts.

Join us for our favorite night of the year!

Four generations of Weston Photography will take Finland by storm this spring!

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.

Beyond a unique photographic experience, here are the highlights that will complement our program during this fabulous workshop: On April 16th, after our welcoming arrival in Barcelona we will visit the Picasso Museum and see the exhibition Picasso/Dali. Dali/Picasso. For the first time in history, two legends side by side in an exhibition celebrating the surrealism. In the outskirts of Barcelona we will visit the famous Cathedral of Cava: CODORNIU where we will have lunch. Grupo Tragaluz will offer us a extraordinary culinary experience during our nights in Barcelona, where we will try mediterranean food and tapas, served with the best catalan wines. Also during the weekend in the Costa Brava, we will stay in PERELADA, a unique vineyard close to the Dali Museum in Figueres.

Finally on the afternoon of April 22nd, at the end of our workshop, we will have a private visit to Foto Colectania Foundation, the most important photographic archive in Spain. More surprises will happen along our program. But for these you have to join us...

Continuing in the same theme and setting as the January, February and March POM's, The April Print of the Month is a fun play on the damsel in distress as the wolf is waiting for her around the bend. Made in Paris, France. One more week to go before we embark on our Spain Nude Photo Workshop in Barcelona Spain! We are so excited to be going back this year. For more information please visit our Group Photography Workshops page!

We have one more opening for our workshop in Barcelona, Spain on April 17-22, 2015. Are you the adventurous type and want a unique photographic experience? Then I say join us in SPAIN! This years the theme is "The Modernism of Gaudi and the Surrealism of Dali"and will be located in Catalonia Spain. During the workshop, we will privately visit some of the most representatives buildings of Gaudi and we will take amazing pictures. We will then visit Salvador Dali's Theatre-Museum and which will be one of the main inspirations for our photographs. The amazing place that Dalí wished it to be “… a single block, a labyrinth, a great surrealist object. It will be totally theatrical museum. The people who come to see it will leave with the sensation of having had a theatrical dream.” Be sure to check out our video from the 2014 Andalusia Spain Photo workshop! Its on our blog.

Here on the Monterey Peninsula, film and wet darkrooms are still alive as new generation fine art photographers Kodiak Greenwood, Michelle Magdalena and Zach Weston both continue and expand upon the legacy of the great West Coast photographers who pioneered this medium and evolved its traditions before them. Please join us on March 14, 2015, for a Discussion Panel from 4 to 5pm in Carpenter Hall and then the opening in the Center for Photographic Art Gallery in Carmel CA from 5-7pm. Hope to see you there.
