A lifetime can well be spent correcting and improving one’s own faults without bothering about others.

Bother Faults Lifetime
I am not limiting myself to theories, so I never question the rightness to my approach.
EDWARD WESTON

I want the stark beauty that a lens can so exactly render presented without interference of artistic effect.

EDWARD WESTON

Artist Lying Photography
A photograph has no value unless it looks exactly like a photograph and nothing else.
EDWARD WESTON

Looks Photograph Values
Results alone should be appraised; the way in which these are achieved is of importance only to the maker.
EDWARD WESTON

Makers Results Way
Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.
EDWARD WESTON

Composition Strongest Way
My true program is summed up in one word: life. I expect to photograph anything suggested by that word which appeals to me.
