Edward Weston stopped making regular entries in his "daybook" in 1934 because he had presumably outgrown the need for the diary once he was prepared to begin his greatest work.1

He had maintained this record since 1917, using it to document his professional successes, economic struggles, personal relationships, and the progression of his artistic life.1
