The only shot on an entire wall of Westons bungalow which he designed himself although also probably with Charis. It is one of my very favorte shots by Weston. There is much on Bravo in the Weston Mexico Daybook from a website: The respect which he engendered was encapsulated in Cartier-Bresson's remark when someone likened Álvarez Bravo's imagery to Weston's: "Don't compare them, Manuel is the real artist."
