A Moment in Photographic History:
On December 16, 1991 Brett Weston turned 80 years old. Of course that means he was more 80 years earlier (oh, I am so clever) but instead of marking the day of his birth, I am marking his 80th birthday because on that day Brett Weston burned his negatives in his home’s fireplace.
