Great black and white photographers Part 2

Edward Weston
- Born on March 24th, 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois.
- Died on January 1st 1958 at the age of 71.
- Dropped out of school in 1897, but went on to almost graduate from the Illinois School of Photography if not for his reluctancy to pay for the full course, even though he had already completed the course on his own, would have graduated.
- Photographer for 40 years, his main career.
- Two of his most famous (and most expensive) pictures taken are Nude, taken in 1925, and Nautilus, taken in 1927, selling for $1,609,000 and $1,082,500 respectively.
- My two favorite pictures by this photographer:
"Rocks and Pebbles" taken in 1948
"Point Lobos" taken in 1946
