During a short break from a conference I attended today, I got to read an article about Edward Weston, and well (shhhh...) another one about Platon (the photographer who got the chance to take a picture of Vladimir Putin for TIME magazine). The article about Edward Weston was in fact an interview with his 93 years old ex-wife Charis Wilson who was his model, lover, friend, muse for a long period of time. Apparently, Weston's involvement with women has dominated his reputation and Charis was the perfect model, lively, beautiful, uninhibited, playfully experimental, and always at hand.

Picture with Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston. Margarethe Mather was a photographer and painter who worked in transforming photography to a modern art, exploring form and light. In her youth she worked as a prostitute.
