The ten photographs in this portfolio are contact prints from
11x14-inch negatives, the largest format Brett Weston ever used,
and the largest practical format for any but the most ardent
devotee of view cameras and contact prints. Brett employed this
camera between 1944 and the early 1960s, when he realised that new
medium-format roll-film cameras like the Rollei SL66 (which made
relatively small 2 1/4-inch square negatives), were so good that he
could abandon contact prints altogether. By 1963, Weston felt
confident that he had enough 11x14 prints to select ten pictures
that fit his criteria for a portfolio-quality, variety, unity, and
ease of printing-and since he did not use the 11x14 camera after
this time, he may have intended this portfolio as a farewell to the
big camera itself. Like his previous portfolios, this selection is
neutral, and the portfolio has no text or predetermined order. As a
group, these pictures are quieter, more relaxed, and somewhat less
shocking or abstract than his previous portfolios, perhaps because
of the limitations of the camera.
