It has been too many years since my History of Photography course in college,
but I have this thread of memory in my head that Edward Weston slept while his
wife drove until *she* saw an Edward Weston scene, then woke him up to
photograph it. Perhaps this was misinformtion from a biased professor?? Anyone
else with that memory thread?
