This is the first portfolio in the series not tangibly "located" in place or time as is San Francisco, White Sands, and New York; rather, it is, in effect, a retrospective exhibition because Weston selected the photographs from his entire oeuvre going back to 1934, when he was just twenty-three. The fifteen pictures include macrocosmic landscapes with recognisable deep space and horizons, microcosmic landscapes, or "elegant bits" of nature, as Brett was fond of calling them, and man-made subjects that are usually close-ups. This portfolio also contains a number of renditions of virtually flat subjects that can rightly be called abstractions.
