Tide pools are a source of photographic inspiration at Point Lobos State Reserve. Photographer Minor White thought Edward Weston’s last Point Lobos photos “may parallel in content the last quartets of Beethoven.”(© David Keaton/CORBIS)
Many memorable works attached to the Weston name are in black and white, but this scene at Point Lobos, where hikers maneuver through green brush atop rocks, seems to cry out for color. “I can’t even describe the color the water was this morning,” remarked state reserve docent Patty Oglietti. “There is no name for that shade of blue.”(Christopher Reynolds / LAT)
Along a rugged Central California coastline that is a touchstone in American photography, Garrapata Beach offers a lonely landscape that can tempt whoever is holding a camera. Edward Weston, haunting Monterey County in the 1930s and ’40s, went on to win worldwide respect for fine-art photography with his meticulous, unsentimental, often nearly abstract images of nature. His sons Brett and Cole also forged estimable reputations in the art. Ansel Adams, who captured iconic images of Yosemite, also lived in the area for the last 22 years of his life.(Christopher Reynolds / LAT)
