Guy Webster, American Photographer

{Ansel Adams by Guy Webster}

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a talk given by
Guy Webster, presented by Ventura's Focus on the Masters. It was amazing to see this man as a celebrity after knowing him so long as a teacher and mentor. I love hearing him tell the grand stories of his life and career in his humble and honest tone.

These are some pieces from his impressive body of work...

{Liza Minelli}

{Truman Capote}

{Simon & Garfunkle}

{Natalie Wood}

{for the Monterey Pop Festival poster}

I especially love this one because it's of an old highschool friend and I'm almost certain I was there when it was taken. I remember it from a class sometime near Halloween when we all wore costumes to Guy's Ojai studio and took pictures.
