No matter what he chose to photograph, he always found new and interesting ways to portray what was on the other side of the lens to the world. When photographing places and objects, he was always careful about the perspective he chose to convey. His careful planning and powerful eye for the unordinary created portraits of towering, twisting peppers and flowing curves of larger-than-life cabbage leaves. He mapped out the random smooth lines of a wind-blown dune, and the infinite detail of weathered and bleached driftwood. He was never one to shy away from the unconventional or strange, but he never exploited people or places. Only redefined what they meant in those moments and then captured them permanently. Because of this rare and beautiful talent of Weston’s, he was able to draw new links for his viewers that they may have never seen in their own worlds. They may have never seen the minute detail of a halved head of cabbage or appreciated the fine curves of the human form until forced to view it one segment at a time. After seeing his work, his audience would be left with the desire to associate everyday things with the extraordinary and leave mundane thinking
