“I inherited photography as my birthright. But I’m a color photographer. That’s what I do. Whether you like it or not. There is nothing wrong with black or white, but I’m into color and I like it!”
~ Cole Weston
“Cole - the baby, yet I would guess the oldest soul of them all, a little rogue, but a dear rogue, with mischievous ways and daring eyes”
~ Edward Weston
Big Sur is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking places in the world. And this is perhaps one of the most beautiful photographs ever taken there. It is without doubt Cole’s greatest photo. Taken on a really blustering day in early 1958 it conveys the definitive meeting of Ocean and Land. A masterful composition where the crashing wave matches the shape of the rock in the distance.
