It's a beautifully sunny day on the central coast of California and we are holding Cole Weston's memory closer than ever on his birthday! One of the pioneers of large format color photography, Cole produced breathtaking images all around the world.
In addition, Cole worked as his father, Edward Weston's, assistant at his Carmel studio from 1946 until Edward's death in 1958. In his will, Edward had specified that only Cole was authorized to print his negatives. Though prints produced by Edward himself were valuable and much in demand by collectors, there was also a substantial and continuing demand for Cole's prints from his father's negatives.

Thank you, Cole, for all you did for the photographic medium, for your presence in our lives, and for your commitment to preserving our family's legacy. We miss you every day!
