I start with no preconceived idea --
discovery excites me to focus --
then rediscovery through the lens --
final form of presentation seen on ground glass, the finished print previsioned complete in every detail of texture, movement, proportion, before exposure -- the shutter's release automatically and finally fixes my conception, allowing no after manipulation --
the ultimate end, the print, is but a duplication of all that I saw and felt through my camera.
Edward Weston, 1930
