Casa de Vecindad, D.F. 1926 from the Aperture book.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Edward Weston<\/a> was an iconic American photographer. In 1973 Aperture printed a massive coffee table size book called, “Edward Weston: Fifty Years<\/a>” with many of his famous prints plus a biography by Ben Maddox. You may be able to see a copy via your local library.<\/p>\n

I bought my copy a year later in the summer of 1974 while living in Quebec. At the time, I was learning about the many great photographers. In terms of population, we were a rather small country with history dating back a century or two. At the time, I knew of few Canadian photographers.<\/p>\n

This wonderful book shows the beautiful works of Weston, started when photography itself was less than a century old.<\/p>\n

Note.The title of this post is a riff on a children’s book by Roald Dahl. “James and the Giant Peach<\/a>“. I read this book – and others by Dahl – to my children when they were young.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
