I want to see his photographs and read some of his thoughts/experiences more than expecting a how-to on technique. I have and admire 'the Grand Canyon and the Southwest' and 'Yosemite' by Ansel Adams which are largely collections of magnificent photographs leavened with quotes, letters and thoughts. I hope that the Weston Daybooks are in this vein.

The technical stuff is available in many forms elsewhere. Thinking about "photography" is far less accessible.
