"Remembering Brett Weston"

[Mark Minard]

Sexton: "Mr Weston you said you only had 20 minutes."
Brett: "Oh I've got time don't you have prints you want to show me?"
Sexton: "Yes we do, you said you didn't want to see them."
Brett: "I didn't think I'd like you guys you're from Southern California."

LOL! This is great stuff. Love Sexton's impersonation of Brett's voice. Thanks again for the link

This would be a good day to remember Brett, his birthday! Born on December 16, 1911.

A good day to watch Wright's video and peruse some of Brett's books. Thanks, Merg, for the reminder.

Most welcome, Shawn and Doug -

I called Brett on his birthday, 1992. He was in Hawaii and we had a good chat. He died the next month.

Funny, I never seem to forget his birthday!

Yes, watching Art's video ---great idea!

Best.

Thanks to Lodima, we now have 4 more volumes available of his Portfolio series. Looking forward to the series completion next year in time for Brett's 105.

Yes, he was ahead of his time. But with those black fingernails, nowadays he'd be mistaken for a rock guitarist !
