"Having a special interest and knowledge of 20th century California photography, I have always been interested in the early work of Brett Weston for the particular ways in which it diverges and intersects with the work of Edward from the late 1920s through the decade of the 1930s. As a young artist, Brett was actively searching for new subjects and approaches to the medium. Dody Weston Thompson notes that it was Brett who first discovered the visual power of the sand dunes on the California coast at Oceano and promptly shared them with his father." - Michael Dawson
