That pepper photo is just awesome! Very sensual. I really want to reach out and run my hands over it.

I agree. Weston made some outstanding pictures of the peppers. This one was actually part of a series of photographs. I have one of his series of shells as well, which I'll post.

He and Ansel Adams were friends and had similar approaches to photography.

I love the dunes. I am strongly attracted to abstracts.

Edward Weston loved those dunes, too, and photographed them often. They are at Oceano, California. Later his son, Brett, would also make a lot of very good photographs there.

I'll post quite a few b &w abstracts that I believe you'll enjoy, not just by Weston but by many whom he influenced.
