I am sad to report that Cole Weston died last Sunday (4/20).
He was the last of Edward Weston's sons. I took one of his workshops a couple of years ago. He was an interesting speaker, very knowledgable and eager to talk about his work and his fathers. He showed us a lot of prints and looked at ours. He printed one of Edward's negatives of Charis on the Dunes at Oceano. We took a tour of Point Lobos where Cole pointed out many of the rocks and trees that Edward photographed. Later we sat on the rocks at Weston Beach and Cole answered our questions about photography, Edward, Brett, Charis, and printing Edward's negatives. It was a great workshop. I feel like it's the end of an era.

Gina Weston graciously sent an email to a number of folks noting the passing of Cole, her father-in-law. It includes a link to the Monterey County Herald item which is included below. The article provides a thumbnail of the life of a man who lived it to the 'max'. It is amazing to consider that he concentrated on the legacy of Edward Weston until a time when most people would want to retire...then he plunged into his own work with zest and perspective of life experience. His color work is superb. His contributions will not be forgotten.
