Well, the story is: Living as a barefoot bohemian in Carmel, food was a
lucious commodity . . . any food, actually. EW was barred from
photographing outside at Pt. Lobos as the War blackouts included not
working on the coast in the open. Weston was intrigued with the light in
his art, as he learned from McComas at her studio while she painted and they
chatted. (All in the day books) According to Fransis Baer, Moreley's wife
and EW's houskeeper, EW loved to see sex in everything. Charris brought
home a pepper and EW photographed it. It was the most asked for print, as
he sold the most of all his pictures. His logs show he made and sold 26
altogether.
