Have you always wanted to visit Wildcat Hill and see Edward Weston's Darkroom? Here is your chance!
Join photographer Kim Weston, the grandson of Edward Weston, as he prints an original Edward Weston negative in his old darkroom at Wildcat Hill. “ Spring 1943” is the only original negative from the Edward Weston collection that is allowed to be printed. It was a gift to Kim from his father, Cole Weston. All of the remaining negatives are housed at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona.
