Charis Wilson, model, muse, and the last wife of Edward Weston, died recently at age 95. Last week, Ovation TV rebroadcast a special on her and Edward Weston called "The Eloquent Nude". It's a great program. Catch it if you can.

On November 25th, Kim Weston posted a very good article about her on his blog which is located at http://kimweston.blogspot.com/.
