The Economist Magazine's obituary this week is of Charis Wilson, famous model for photographer Edward Weston. Wilson was quite a character in her own right, as was Weston. But together they "completed" each other and each others' art. Worth reading.

Make that Edward WESTON, please :-) And I was surprised to see that Charis was still with us, I'd assumed she'd long since passed on.

Ovation TV recently aired the documentary Eloquent Nude: The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston & Charis Wilson. She was fascinating.

The "brand police" at Westin Hotels must be very happy. Sorry for the typo. Anyway, have a look at the article ... very well written. I was going to say "bringing some fascinating folks to life," but it's an obit for Pete's sake.
