‘The Photographer’ was made by Willard Van Dyke, who before switching to cinematography had been a photographic contemporary of Weston and was a founding member alongside him of the f/64 group.
Admittedly the film is not the greatest piece of film making. It was produced for the United States Information Agency and could be described as quaint propaganda but it does show Weston at home at Wildcat Hill and revisiting some of the locations he made famous at Point Lobos, Oceano, Death Valley and Yosemite. The commentary, whilst bordering on the saccharin in places, does explain why a landscape photographer works as he does. Reportedly, during the filming Weston assisted by Dody Warren and his son Cole, actually shot some early colour transparencies for Kodak.

Fantastic!
And it appears that the question debated every so often about whether photography is art or not was settled way back in 1948

I really got a kick out of the cat door at his house...it was made with a discarded lens board from a large format camera!
And his woody station wagon with a shooting platform on the top... didn't Ansel Adams have one as well or did they share the same vehicle?
