Hi Steve,
Well, at least during the '30s, it was a struggle for most Americans
because of the depression. That is the impression one gets from reading
Edward Weston's Daybook. And, of course, he was the first photographer to
receive a Guggenheim Fellowship Grant. He used this money to travel and
photogrph.
I recall seeing a half hour black and white film about Edward
Weston. I think it was put out by the Canadian Film Board. It showed
him photographing near Carmel and printing in his darkroom.
