If Weston had ever gone truly commercial like with a print salon of his own, I'm not sure he would have kept creating as he did.

I think he really loved the single image and didnt want to part with more than one of them. Always looking for the next challenge or the next image.

Those who can make images but can't sell enough to be sure the car payment is make next month. At least that's pretty much how his journals read.
