This large silver gelatin print is a portrait of Imogen's friend and photographer, Edward Weston, at Point Lobos in California.
Imogen and Edward became friends shortly after Imogen and Roi moved to San Francisco in 1917.
Later, in 1932, along with Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and a coterie of other photographer-friends, they jointly formed a group they called the Group f.64, declaring their intent to create an exhibition of work to promote their contemporary photographic views of the day.Their first exhibition was at the de Young Museum in San Francisco that same year.

Edward Weston photographed at Point Lobos time and again - Point Lobos was near his home on the Central Coast of California. Just a few hours south of the Bay Area, Imogen would travel down to see friends and also photograph. This negative was taken on Imogen's 2 1/4 inch (negative size) Rollieflex camera, her most mobile camera.
