Canadian born Ernest Knee settled in New Mexico after working as Howard Hughes’s personal photographer when Hughes was daredeviling around the globe. Knee knew many, if not all, of the great New Mexico artists and often photographed their works for them. Here, one great photographer photographs another great photographer, Edward Weston, set up beside a small spill of water over rocks. Weston takes in the scene and waits for the right moment of light. By making Weston an element in his own photograph, Knee suggests that compositions are to be found everywhere, if we only look.
