one can obtain the most wonderful insights into the thinking of Weston, Willard Van Dyke, and into their philosophical, social, technical, and artistic environment in the 1930s, in 74 letters, including pictures and facsimiles.

Quote: It's a good sign, to lose old idols - (Edward Weston)

Well, this is rather not to lose their pioneering spirit.

Source is the University of Arizona. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this. The letters are a great read. They are a wonderful insight into both Weston and Van Dyke's friendship and their photographic journeys.
