Clearly neither of you has read *California and the West* by Charis Wilson, E. Weston's model, lover, wife, and ex-wife. Most folks - me included - would not think of Lake Ediza even today as being with 50 feet from the road. May I respectully suggest that you both read this book and then - and only then - return to the subject at hand. |

At my current age and health I still adhere to it with my current DSLR "stuff". Best, Dave |

At my current age and health I still adhere to it with my current DSLR "stuff". Which of course doesn't make his (Weston's) assertion any less absurd. I suppose in his case the only excuse one could make is that he was always able to find photogenic stuff that close to the road. I've stood in the very place where AA planted his tripod here in the Berkeley hills (for his shots of UC Berkeley looking over the bay), and believe me, it's a hell of a lot more than 50 feet from any road. -- The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. - Attributed to Winston Churchill |

"Anything more than 50ft from the road,is not photogenic."
You're about half right with your quote ("Anything more than 50ft from
the road is not photogenic.")which you attributed to Edward Weston. The Weston part is correct, but it was Bret who made that remark. If my memory is working today I think he said "Anything more than 100 (50) feet from the car (road) is not photogenic." He did have cause as he shot almost exclusively 11x14. I fully agree with his approach and I only shoot 35mm size DSLRs now. Too old and too out of shape. =;~) Best, Dave Nicholas O.
