That pepper photo is just awesome! Very sensual. I really want to reach out and run my hands over it.

I agree. Weston made some outstanding pictures of the peppers. This one was actually part of a series of photographs. I have one of his series of shells as well, which I'll post.
He and Ansel Adams were friends and had similar approaches to photography.

I love the dunes. I am strongly attracted to abstracts.

Edward Weston loved those dunes, too, and photographed them often. They are at Oceano, California. Later his son, Brett, would also make a lot of very good photographs there.
I'll post quite a few b &w abstracts that I believe you'll enjoy, not just by Weston but by many whom he influenced.

Oh I love those two children!!!
Way back in '76 I visited NYC. I was absoulutely amazed at the lines of laundry hanging above the streets. And not just one or two lines but dozens of lines. All I could think about was all the dirt the traffic and breeze stirred up clinging to the wet clothes. Plus all the pigeons that also hung out with the wash. What was most funny to me and my group at the time, was all the bras and undies. Good thing I didn't have a camera with me.

Wouldn't it be fun to hang that peeling paint photo on a wall of peeling paint? LOL

Those were the photographer's children and I believe his wife actually took the famous picture.
Later I will post some other excellent pictures of some clothes hanging out to dry.
