Happy Birthday! Edward Weston, March 24, 1886
Happy Birthday Edward Weston! 1886-1958 Edward Weston meets Margrethe Mather 1913 As I started researching Edward Weston's life around the 1913's, I realized it was when he met and started working with Margrethe Mather. I went straight to our bookshelf and read "Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston, A Passionate Collaboration" by Beth Gates Warren. We saw the exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 2003. It was an excellent show and I am so happy we took the time to go and see it. Margrethe was a photographer, mentor, lover and inspiration to Edward. Here are some photos by Edward Weston and Margrethe Mather from 1914 - 1920's. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Happy Birthday GP!

2015 January Print of the Month
We just released the January 2015 Print of the Month, "Waiting, (Wolf) Paris, France. Join the POM Club or follow along as Kim Weston releases a new photograph to the POM Portfolio every month."The POM Club is a wonderful way to start collecting or add to a growing collection. The fact that it’s Kim Weston with his own considerable body of work that is so highly regarded, and add to that the history of The Westons in the world of fine art photography, you feel that you are making a smart investment as well. To collect the work of one particular artist is not always an easy thing to do, often requiring you to deal with multiple galleries in various states or individuals in the secondary market. The POM Club solves that problem".

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!
Kimweston.com has a new design!

Fun at September Wildcat Studio Nude Workshop
We had a really great time at the 2014 September Wildcat Studio Nude workshop this last weekend. We had a few returnees, which is always a good testimonial! We met several new photographers and 3 out of the 9 students were women. That made a nice mixing of the groups. In a predominantly male industry, we love having the opportunity to have women photographers participate in our nude workshops.
